Market Overview
In September 2026, the Summit County STR market that includes Frisco, Dillon, and Silverthorne averaged an ADR of $263, occupancy of 35.9%, and revenue of $2,575 per listing for the month. These figures are tracked at the Summit County level rather than uniquely for Frisco, so read them as regional performance that applies to all three towns. Frisco has about 2,825 residents and works as a year-round outdoor recreation base on Dillon Reservoir, less than 30 minutes from six ski areas including Breckenridge, Copper Mountain, Keystone, and Arapahoe Basin. Year over year, September occupancy rose 1.1%, ADR rose 5.6%, and revenue rose 2.1%. September is a shoulder month. The long-run September average is 38.1% occupancy at $260, well under the winter peak, and the 12-month seasonal revenue sum for the market is $49,279 per listing. Entire place listings earned $264 ADR, and luxury listings reached $521 ADR. Calendar year results show a market that has held steady on volume and grown on price. Occupancy was 51.8% in 2023, 50.2% in 2024, and 49.6% in 2025, while ADR climbed from $308 to $321 to $334. Through nine months of 2026, occupancy is 46.0% and ADR is $358, with average monthly revenue of $4,627 against $4,609 for all of 2025. Investors should note that Frisco’s licensing rules, covered below, limit who can operate legally, so regional performance numbers are only reachable for properties that already hold or can obtain a license. Bedroom, channel, and listing-type counts are tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for Frisco, so this profile omits them.

Short-Term Rental Regulations
Short-term rentals are permitted in Frisco, but every unit rented for fewer than 30 consecutive days must hold a Town of Frisco Short-Term Rental License under Ordinance 22-10, effective October 17, 2022. The license costs $250 and renews annually, with a renewal window of February 20 to April 30 and all licenses expiring April 30. The defining rule is the cap. Total licenses are limited to 25% of the town’s residential housing stock, about 900 licenses, and the cap was reached in February 2023. New licenses are available only through a waitlist. As of April 2026, roughly 83 applicants were waiting, with reported waits of 12 to 14 months. The cap is reassessed annually, and properties under construction or under contract as of October 11, 2022 received exemptions. Active licenses may transfer under limited circumstances. Frisco does not require owner occupancy or a primary residence to operate an STR. Occupancy is limited to two people per bedroom plus four additional occupants, so a two-bedroom unit caps at eight. Operators must collect and remit a combined 15.73% lodging and sales tax on each booking, which includes town, state, Summit County, and special district taxes. Enforcement is rated strict. Licenses can be suspended for up to 150 days or revoked for up to a year for tax failures, code violations, or operating while suspended. Buying a Frisco property does not guarantee the right to operate it as an STR.
Market Comparison
The Summit County market that includes Frisco shows a split result: high rates and lower fill. September 2026 ADR was $263 and 2026 year to date ADR is $358, while September occupancy was 35.9% and the 2025 annual average was 49.6%. The pattern is a high-rate, lower-fill market, where revenue depends on peak winter months with 59% to 69% occupancy and rates above $380. Monthly revenue of $2,575 in September trails the 2026 year to date monthly average of $4,627, which shows how much the shoulder season lags the best months. The market leans on rate more than fill, which rewards owners who hold rates firm and fill the peak months. Top operator names and rollup counts are tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for Frisco, so this profile omits them. Frisco also differs from the rest of the Summit County corridor on supply, since its cap holds licenses near 900 while new competitors cannot enter without waiting 12 to 14 months.
