Short Term Rentals

The following information is from the City of Centennial’s website.

Short-term rentals are residential living spaces available to rent for short amounts of time. Shorter than a traditional lease, these range from 1-29 days. Short-term rentals are also commonly called vacation rentals.

Beginning January 1, 2022, residential property owners must have a City-issued STR license to be able to short-term rent their properties.
