Sedgwick County, CO vacation rental rules and taxes

Sedgwick County has very few short-term rentals, and we found no county or Julesburg rental rules. The county is on the state’s county lodging tax list (rate not published there), on top of 3% county sales tax.

What we checked (November 2026): One combined web search for short-term rental ordinances in Julesburg and other plains towns; we opened the Town of Julesburg’s ordinance page (no ordinance text shown). Also the state rate table and county lodging tax report. We did not read the county zoning.

What to do

  1. Ask before you list

    We found no short-term rental license here, but zoning may still treat renting by the night as a lodging or commercial use. Ask the Sedgwick County Land Use office or Julesburg town hall whether your address needs a permit, and check your HOA or deed covenants.

  2. Taxes on each stay

    Stays under 30 days owe 2.9% state and 3% Sedgwick County sales tax plus the county lodging tax (plus 2.3% in Julesburg). Airbnb and other platforms collect the state and state-administered taxes on their bookings; for direct bookings, file with the Colorado Department of Revenue. County and town taxes are state-collected, so platforms collect them.Source

  3. Inside a town

    Towns make their own rules inside their limits; the county’s zoning applies only outside them. Call the town hall if your rental is in town.
