I am against STR regulations. They are against my property rights and materials affect property values. They are also based on a vocal and mistakenly over-represented minority.

I live 1.2 miles from the resort. It is inconceivable to me how you cannot consider our home a resort area. 4 out of the 6 homes on our street are second homes with only one being an Airbnb. This is not a neighborhood full of families. We knew what we were getting into and that’s why we chose to buy where we did. BOCC is now ruining our dream by not listening and coming up with 1/2 thought out solutions. I never thought breck council or the mayor would listen to regulation concerns but was hopeful BOCC would. Now it seems as though they’re going down the same route as breck and are going to do what they want regardless of the voiced concerns. We’ve worked very hard to be in this grateful position and to be able to raise our two children here. We’ve been apart of this community for 7 years and I hope we can continue to raise our children here. Please listen to those who you serve and our concerns.

The way STR licensing was for decades was perfectly fine. There is no need for additional taxes/fees/restrictions/regulations. In fact staff in the county says it is going to have a hard time enforcing the regulations. It is too complicated. There was no problem with STR’s—only problems with short-sighted allowance of growth and not enough employee housing to be included with that growth. There are housing projects in Summit County that have been trying to get passed since 2016 and for one reason or another it is delayed/blocked and still not built. So “let’s take your STR property— you must long term rent now!” Not the answer. Living in a tourist-driven resort community comes with certain drawbacks (as there are positive and negatives in every town in the world) and living next to an STR may be your only drawback in one of the greatest areas to live in. STR’s are well managed, well kept properties and they feed the local economy. Let the free market do its thing, it will balance on its own.

I’m opposed to STR nightly caps and license caps. I lived and worked in the county over a decade and my family is still there.
We lost our license due to a builder it permitting a door he put in our home.
We now might have to sell and we contribute so much to the community.

These new regulations have already demonstrated a significant decrease in interested buyers for properties for sale. Thus property values will likely continue to decrease.

Don’t tread on my property rights! It’s unconstitutional!
