Avon market overview
Avon sits at the base of Beaver Creek Resort in Colorado's Eagle River valley, and it is the gateway most of the resort's visitors pass through. Winter drives the market: occupancy and nightly rates climb from December and peak in February and March, when skiers and snowboarders fill the valley and rates reach their highest point of the year. Beaver Creek Resort anchors that demand, with Vail a short drive up Interstate 70. April and May are the quietest weeks of the year as the snow melts and the mountain closes. Summer brings a second, smaller peak that crests in July, when visitors come to hike, mountain bike, and raft the Eagle River, then eases through August and September. October and November stay slow until the lifts turn again.

Vacation Rental Taxes and Regulations in Avon, CO
Registering your rental
Short-term rentals are permitted both in the Town of Avon and in the unincorporated county around it, and most of the homes we manage with an Avon address sit just outside the town limits in unincorporated Eagle County — which decides everything that follows.
If your home is in unincorporated Eagle County, there is no county short-term rental licence or permit to obtain. The Board of County Commissioners considered a county-wide registration ordinance and decided not to adopt one, leaving short-term rental rules to metropolitan districts and homeowners associations. Your registration work is therefore on the tax side rather than the land-use side.
If your home is inside Avon's town limits, the town requires both a business licence and a sales tax licence before you host, with short-term rental applications handled by the Town of Avon. Avon issues several licence classes, and your licence number has to appear in your listings.
Lodging and occupancy taxes
Colorado taxes the full amount charged for accommodations rented for fewer than thirty consecutive days. The Colorado Department of Revenue administers state sales tax and also collects the sales taxes of most Colorado counties and special districts, so an unincorporated-county home files nearly everything in one place.
Eagle County levies its own lodging tax on short-term stays in the unincorporated county, administered by the Department of Revenue rather than the county and filed quarterly. That county lodging tax does not apply inside Avon, Vail, Basalt, Eagle, Minturn or Red Cliff, each of which levies its own.
Avon is a home-rule town that collects its own taxes, so an in-town home remits sales tax, accommodations tax, and a short-term rental tax dedicated to community housing directly to the town rather than to the state.
Local rules that affect operating
In the STR Overlay outside Avon's Town Core, no more than 15% of dwelling units may hold a full short-term rental licence; that cap is a town rule and does not reach homes in the unincorporated county. Wherever your home sits, the governing documents of a metropolitan district or homeowners association can restrict or prohibit short-term renting outright, and in unincorporated Eagle County those documents are the binding constraint.
How Fairly handles it
We assist with registering your home in whichever jurisdiction actually governs it and with each licence renewal, and we collect and remit the applicable state, county and town taxes on every booking.
Operating a vacation rental in Avon, CO
Operating a vacation rental in Avon means managing intense winter weather: clearing heavy snowfall from walkways and drives, and protecting pipes through hard mountain freezes. The ski season from December through March compresses most of the year's bookings into a few months of rapid back-to-back turnovers, where a missed clean or a late check-in has nowhere to go. April and May swing the other way, and those quiet weeks are when deferred maintenance actually gets done. With Fairly, your caretaker provides a single point of contact — they live nearby, know the mountain environment, and handle cleanings and property checks personally, so nothing is passed between rotating vendors. You keep the final say over how your home is managed, including full control of your calendar, and you can switch caretakers at any time.
Frequently asked questions
How does Fairly handle the extreme seasonality of the Avon rental market?
We actively optimize your nightly rates to match Avon's dramatic seasonal shifts. This means maximizing revenue during the peak winter ski season and busy summer months, while adjusting strategies during the quieter spring and fall periods to attract off-season travelers.
Who is responsible for snow removal and winter maintenance at my property?
Your dedicated local caretaker will monitor your property during harsh winter conditions. While they handle standard turnover tasks and ensure the home is warm and welcoming for guests, we can also help coordinate with local, specialized snow removal services in Avon for heavy driveway plowing.
What are Fairly's management fees, and am I locked into a contract?
Fairly charges a transparent, flat 20% fee on your rental revenue, and the entirety of the cleaning fee goes directly to your hard-working local caretaker, along with a share of Fairly's management commission. Furthermore, we believe in earning your business every day, so there are absolutely no long-term contracts locking you in.
A guaranteed $5,000 increase in earnings
We guarantee that homeowners coming from self management or other managers will make an extra $5,000 in their first year with Fairly.
