Short-Term Rental Fee Litigation
As a result of the Colorado Supreme Court granting cert in our case involving Short Term Rental (STR) fees in Breckenridge, we've received quite a bit on contacts from STR owners in other jurisdictions. So, we thought it might be helpful to add a page about both the Breckenridge litigation and potential litigation in other jurisdictions.
The Breckenridge Case
Our Breckenridge case challenges short-term rental fees before the Colorado Supreme Court. We are asserting that the Breckenridge fee is actually a tax and thus violates TABOR.
Other Colorado Jurisdictions
Many jurisdictions in Colorado have a similar STR fee structure to Breckenridge. Thus, they are just as susceptible to challenge. If you have an STR and want to know if your fees are subject to challenge, please reach out at alex@ingenuitylawcolorado.com. There is never a fee for TABOR related cases as attorney's fees are paid by the offending municipality.
Real Results
Should we prevail at the Colorado Supreme Court, Breckenridge will be legally obligated to refund all STR fees paid by every owner for the last four years. Owners will not have to file a claim or take any action.
