Frequently Asked Questions

How much did typical Colorado Springs listings earn last year?

Typical Colorado Springs listings earned about $28,823 last year from 2,340 active rentals, AirROI trailing twelve months from August 2025 through July 2026. Average night was $233, occupancy 44.5 percent, and revenue per available night was $105. Year over year is minus 1.7 percent, and active supply held roughly steady. Keep Manitou Springs and Pueblo on their own lines.


When is Colorado Springs' strongest month?

June is the busiest revenue month, with August and May the other strong months. February is the slowest, and occupancy is weakest in January. Confirm current fees before advertising a 2026 season, and keep this pattern specific to Colorado Springs rather than a Manitou Springs or Pueblo listing.


Do I need a Colorado Springs CO STR permit in 2026?

Call Colorado Springs Short Term Rentals at 719-385-5982 or email shorttermrentals@coloradosprings.gov, Development Review Enterprise, 2880 International Circle, Suite 200-7. Owner-occupied permits require 185 days of physical occupancy per year; non-owner-occupied applications filed after December 26, 2019 are barred from several single-family zones and must sit 500 feet from another non-owner-occupied STR. Published figures range $119 to $124.95 annually — confirm the current fee.


Is a 30-night minimum the same as occupancy?

No. 851 listings, 36.4 percent of the 2,340 active rentals, set a 30-night minimum, but typical stay is still 6.4 nights with a 46-day lead time. A long minimum-stay setting doesn't reflect what guests actually book, and February remains slow regardless.


Should I hire a manager in Colorado Springs and on the satellites?

Professionally managed share in Colorado Springs is 18.5 percent; Kaitlyn at Renjoy holds the largest local portfolio at 136 listings. Manitou Springs and Pueblo each reward their own separate city copy — don't buy one manager pitch to cover all three markets.


Who books a Colorado Springs stay?

Most guests arrive from Denver, then Colorado Springs itself. Typical stay is 6.4 nights with a 46-day lead time. Urban guests want Old Colorado City and downtown; Manitou Springs and Pueblo guests are each booking a separate city trip. Keep each town's copy distinct.


Can I file Manitou Springs as the Colorado Springs year?

No. Colorado Springs' average night was $233 across 2,340 listings, while Manitou Springs separately earned about $33,745 on 115 listings. Keep $28,823 on its own line for Colorado Springs and don't substitute the higher Manitou figure when citing this city.


Can I run a non-owner-occupied STR in a Springs single-family zone?

Generally no. Non-owner-occupied applications filed after December 26, 2019 are not permitted in R-E, R-1 6, R-1 9, or single-family PDZs, and must sit 500 feet from another non-owner-occupied STR. Owner-occupied units require 185 days of physical occupancy per year. Call 719-385-5982 to confirm your specific zone.


What should a buyer packet carry?

Cite $28,823 across 2,340 city listings, note supply held roughly steady and year over year down 1.7 percent, and include the permit desk number, 719-385-5982. Keep Manitou Springs and Pueblo on their own lines rather than folding them into the city total.


Where do I confirm the city desk?

Call Colorado Springs Short Term Rentals at 719-385-5982, or reach Development Review Enterprise at 2880 International Circle, Suite 200-7. City Hall itself is at 30 South Nevada Avenue. Published permit fees vary between sources, so confirm the current 2026 figure directly before advertising.
