On
Tuesday, October 13, 2009, Avon Town Council approved Ordinance 09-12, which makes
short term rentals legal within most of the town center area (see map).Areas once considered, but excluded from the
final ordinance, include Nottingham Road, Wildridge and other Planned Unit
Developments (PUDs) within the town center.
Of the
PUDs removed from the overlay zone district, some already have short term
rentals as an allowed use in their PUD language and their ability to short term
rent is not affected by not being included in the overlay zone district.
However, Wildridge, Brookside Park, Nottingham Station (includes Canyon Run and
Avon Crossing), Eaglebend, and Stonebridge are all PUDs are excluded from the
overlay zone district and these PUDs do not currently allow for short term
rentals. In order for short term rentals to be allowable in these areas,
property owners would need to apply for a PUD amendment to include short term
rentals as an allowable use. Currently, fees are waived for all complete PUD amendment applications received by February 12, 2010 (Resolution 09-25).
For those
properties that are now allowed to short term rent, they must obtain a sales tax license through the Town of Avon and submit all applicable taxes
to the Town of Avon. Properties found short term
renting without submitting appropriate sales and accommodation taxes will be
responsible to pay back taxes, penalties, interest and additional fines.
