Why You Should Join the Teller County Short-Term Rental Alliance (TCSTRA) Today

Together, we are building a fair, responsible, and sustainable short-term rental community in Teller County.

SRO = Self-Regulating Organization

An SRO is an industry-led association that:

  • Sets standards of conduct for its members
  • Monitors compliance with those standards
  • Provides education and training
  • Acts as the voice of the industry with government and the public
In simple terms: We regulate ourselves before someone else does it for us.

Short-term rentals are under increasing scrutiny across Colorado. Without a unified voice, rules and restrictions can be shaped without input from owners.

  • We take responsibility for fair, respectful STR practices
  • We are organized, informed, and accountable
  • We want to be partners, not opponents

  • Credibility: County officials see you as part of a professional, proactive community
  • Influence: The BOCC (Board of County Commissioners) listens to organized groups
  • Prevention: By setting our own standards, we preempt one-size-fits-all restrictions
  • Fairness: Members in good standing can show compliance when renewing STR licenses

  • Paying dues (sustains the Alliance)
  • Following the Code of Conduct (noise, safety, occupancy, etc.)
  • Participating in training or community discussions
  • Accepting peer accountability when issues arise
We police our own ranks so regulators don’t have to.

  • Help define TCSTRA’s standards and best practices
  • Have a seat at the table as Teller County updates STR regulations
  • Be ready if licensing rules ever require SRO membership — you’ll already be ahead

Members can join committees, attend meetings, and share input on organizational initiatives. For general inquiries, email leadership@tcstra.com. For membership-related questions, contact membership@tcstra.com.
