Before you buy in Colorado Springs

Local rules and costs that change a deal's numbers or closing date in Colorado Springs and El Paso County. Sources are listed at the bottom of the page.
  • Check the zoning before you plan a short-term rental: new non-owner-occupied permits applied for after December 26, 2019 aren't allowed in single-family zones (R-E, R-1 6, R-1 9 and single-family PDZs), and in other zones the unit must be at least 500 feet from another one.
  • If you do qualify, a short-term rental permit lasts one year and costs $124.95, needs proof of at least $500,000 in liability insurance, and must be renewed before it expires; a lapsed non-owner-occupied permit can be lost.
  • Budget for El Paso County's recording costs: the state documentary fee of $0.01 per $100 of the price when it's over $500, and a flat $43 per recorded document since July 1, 2025.
