Public Health Order Regarding Short Term Rentals

Posted on March 20, 2020 at 11:03 AM by Brandi Timm

Dear Valued Partner,


With confirmed community spread of the COVID-19 virus in Summit County, all lodging businesses, including hotels, motels, timeshares and short-term rentals (e.g. Airbnb, VRBO, etc.) are required to close by 12 noon, Thursday, March 19, 2020.

It is a violation of the Amended and Restated Public Health Order dated March 17, 2020 for guests to stay past 12 noon on Thursday, March 19, 2020, in your short-term lodging unit.

There is no end date to the restriction at this time.


If you are under a quarantine or isolation order, you must abide by the terms of that order. In addition, if you are a local worker who currently resides in short-term lodging, please contact EOC@summitcountyco.gov
