The Town requires hotels, motels, bed & breakfasts, property management companies, and homeowners who short-term lease (less than 30 days) their Breckenridge residences to collect Sales tax and Public Accommodation Tax on all sales of lodging services.  The 3.4%  Public Accommodation Tax is remitted directly to the Town of Breckenridge along with the 2.5% Town sales tax. For your convenience, the sales and accommodations taxes are reported on the same through Xpress Bill Pay or Munirevs (only available for Short Term Rental license holders).

All businesses, property managers, and homeowners collecting the accommodations tax are required to have an Accommodation Unit License and a Colorado Sales Tax License.   To obtain a Town license, contact the Town Clerk's office for an application. After your application is received and approved, you will be designated as a monthly or quarterly filer and a business license will be mailed to you. Tax returns, along with the appropriate remittance of tax collected, are due on the 20th of each month following the period they were collected. Late returns are penalized with a penalty of 10% of the sales tax (minimum of $15) plus 1% interest for each month the payment is outstanding.
