We are opposed to Summit County's proposed short-term rental regulations. This is a petition to request that the Summit County Board of Commissioners cease its plans to further restrict short-term rentals, which denies property rights and without just compensation for "taking" our property rights away. The right to rent residential properties is a protected Constitutional right in the bundle of property rights.

Summit County's ban on short-term rentals has already demonstrated that removing the right to rent short-term negatively influences home values - especially when you compare "down-zoned" areas that were banned from STR with "up-zoned" areas (Keystone, Peak 8 and Copper). The county is creating adverse home value dichotomies that favor only affluent "up-zoned" resort areas while unjustly "down-zoning" the rest of our home values, limiting wealth distribution and bolstering inequities within neighborhoods and across unincorporated Summit County. Why should people who live in Breckenridge have less property rights than those in Keystone?

Say NO to Short-term regulations in Summit County. Say YES to wealth distribution across the entire county. Say YES to everyone who owns Summit County property being entitled to equal property rights to rent short-term and that they shall not be denied this right without due process and just compensation.
