Frequently Asked Questions

Average night was $233, occupancy was 44.5 percent, and revenue per available night was $105. Year over year ran minus 1.7 percent. Keep Manitou Springs and Pueblo on their own line, separate from the city figure.

When is Colorado Springs's strongest month?

June is the busiest month for Colorado Springs, with August and May rounding out the strong stretch. February is the slowest month, and occupancy is weakest in January. Confirm current-year specifics at Colorado Springs Short Term Rentals before you advertise, and keep the city's calendar off a Manitou Springs and Pueblo caption — a listing scrape isn't the town file.

Do I need a Colorado Springs STR permit in 2026?

Call Colorado Springs Short Term Rentals at 719-385-5982, Development Review Enterprise, 2880 International Circle, Suite 200-7 (City Hall at 30 South Nevada Avenue). owner-occupied permits require the owner to be physically present 185 days per year; non-owner-occupied applications filed after December 26, 2019 are not permitted in single-family zoning R-E, R-1 6, R-1 9, or single-family PDZs, and must sit 500 feet from another non-owner-occupied STR; coverage cites a $124.95 annual permit (an older application PDF still shows $119). Confirm the current-year fee and rule directly with the desk rather than trusting a listing-site scrape.

Is a 30-night minimum the same as occupancy?

No. 851 listings, 36.4 percent of 2,340 active rentals, set a 30-night minimum — that's a booking filter, not occupancy. Typical stay in Colorado Springs is still 6.4 nights with a 46-day booking lead. Keep the city's numbers off a Manitou Springs and Pueblo caption.

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 136 listings there. Manitou Springs and Pueblo reward their own separate city copy — don't buy one pitch for multiple occasions. Confirm current figures at Colorado Springs Short Term Rentals before you advertise a shared management story.

Who books a Colorado Springs stay?

Most guests arrive from Denver, then Colorado Springs. Stay length runs 6.4 nights with a 46-day booking lead. Colorado Springs guests want Old Colorado City and downtown, a different occasion from what draws visitors to Manitou Springs and Pueblo. Write copy for the guest who actually typed this town.

Can I file Manitou Springs as the Colorado Springs year?

No. Colorado Springs's average night was $233 on 2,340 listings. Manitou Springs earned about $33,745 on 115 listings — a separate market with its own extract. Keep $28,823 on its own line for Colorado Springs and don't blend the two.

What should a buyer packet carry?

Cite $28,823 on 2,340 Colorado Springs listings, and year over year minus 1.7 percent. Call Colorado Springs Short Term Rentals at 719-385-5982. Keep Manitou Springs and Pueblo labeled on its own separate line rather than folded into the city total.

Where do I confirm the Colorado Springs city desk?

Call Colorado Springs Short Term Rentals at 719-385-5982, Development Review Enterprise, 2880 International Circle, Suite 200-7 (City Hall at 30 South Nevada Avenue). owner-occupied permits require the owner to be physically present 185 days per year; non-owner-occupied applications filed after December 26, 2019 are not permitted in single-family zoning R-E, R-1 6, R-1 9, or single-family PDZs, and must sit 500 feet from another non-owner-occupied STR; coverage cites a $124.95 annual permit (an older application PDF still shows $119). This is the desk to confirm before listing, not a third-party scrape.
