Colorado county rules

Yuma County, CO vacation rental rules and taxes

Yuma County has very few short-term rentals. The part of the county land use code we read doesn’t mention them, and we found no rules in Yuma or Wray. There’s no county sales or lodging tax.

What we checked (November 2026): One web search for Yuma County, Yuma, and Wray short-term rental rules. We read the first third of the county land use code (no STR rules there), the state rate table, and the state county lodging tax report.

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 Yuma County Land Use office or your 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 sales tax plus 3.75% in the City of Yuma or 2.5% in Wray. Airbnb and other platforms collect the state and state-administered taxes on their bookings; for direct bookings, file with the Colorado Department of Revenue. City 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.
