Property information: physical address, legal description, and max occupancy 
Owner information: valid contact information (including phone, email address and mailing address)
Property manager information (if other than the owner): valid contact information (including phone, email address and mailing address) and local emergency contact information of a contact with a permanent residence within a 45-minute drive of the rental. Supporting documentation: annual proof of insurance, annual fire inspection report, site plan showing parking and snow storage, and HOA approval letter (if applicable). 

Yes, a Nightly Rental License must be obtained for each structure, dwelling, or dwelling unit that is being rented.  However, an additional sales tax license need not be obtained if the Property Manager has already obtained one. 

The site plan must depict the layout of the structure showing ingress and egress points, vehicular ingress and egress points, number of parking spots, snow storage equivalent to one-third of the parking area, number of trash receptacles and name of trash company. This does not have to a complicated engineered drawing, it can simply be a drawing done by hand, or a Google Maps screen shot with the required information written on it.  

All nightly rental properties must allow their guests to park on site. The required number of parking spots are listed below, and can be found in the Grand Lake Municipal Code 12-2-28. If not all guests’ vehicles and trailers can be parked on site, they can be parked in Town-designated parking areas and are subject to the same regulations as any other parked vehicle.  No parking is allowed on any landscaped areas of a nightly rental, or in the public street or right-of-way adjacent to the nightly rental. 

• Studio or One Bedroom Unit - 1 Space
• Two Bedroom Unit  - 1.5 Spaces
• Three Bedroom Unit  - 2 Spaces
• Four + Bedroom Unit  -  2.5 Spaces

The required snow storage area that must be provided is calculated at thirty-three percent (33%) of the total parking, pathways, and driving areas (including shoulders), which also must be noted on the site plan. 

Any residence that is rented on a nightly basis must obtain an annual fire and life safety inspection report prior to submitting a new or renewing a Nightly Rental License application. Property owners can schedule an inspection online with the Grand Lake Fire Protection District. Only the report (not invoice) will be accepted as validation. It is the responsibility of the property owner, not the Fire Department or Town, to schedule and submit the fire inspection to the town. The inspection fees are as follows: 

• Studio and 1 Bedroom Units - $150.00
• 2 and 3 Bedroom Units - $250.00
• 4 and more Bedroom Units - $350.00

This is determined at the discretion of your respective Homeowner's Association. Please contact your HOA for clarification.
