Market Score Breakdown
Five dimensions StaySTRA evaluates per market.
Market Overview
Westminster is a Denver-metro suburb of about 115,302 people in Adams and Jefferson counties, roughly 15 minutes north of downtown Denver, functioning largely as a bedroom community and day-trip destination rather than a standalone tourism market. It draws regional Front Range visitors to visitor attractions like the Butterfly Pavilion, which reports more than 500,000 visitors a year, and Standley Lake Regional Park for boating, fishing, and birdwatching. Westminster adopted short-term rental regulations on May 22, 2023: every STR needs a city license, and no operator may hold more than one licensed STR premise in the city at a time, a real limit on multi-property investors. StaySTRA tracks Westminster’s short-term rental performance data, dimension mix, and property manager roster at the Denver metro regional level, shared with nearby Castle Rock, Conifer, Evergreen, and Golden, so the figures below describe that broader metro market. That regional market averaged a $201.82 ADR and 78.4% occupancy in June 2026, the most recent month tracked, with $4,298 in average monthly revenue. Year over year, occupancy and ADR both eased slightly (down 2.3% and 3.9% respectively) while revenue was roughly flat, up 0.8%. This same shared regional dataset includes roughly 13,160 tracked listings; entire-place units dominate the mix (10,939 of about 13,160), with a bedroom count concentrated in 1-bedroom units (5,670 listings).

Short-Term Rental Regulations
Westminster, CO adopted short-term rental regulations on May 22, 2023. Anyone offering lodging for fewer than 30 consecutive days in a residential dwelling must obtain and maintain a city Short-Term Rental License. The initial application currently requires no registration fee, and the license expires after two years; renewals cost $200 plus a processing fee, effectively a biennial cycle. A key restriction is that no applicant may operate more than one licensed STR premise in the city at any one time, which limits multi-property investors. In addition to the STR license, operators must obtain a city business and sales tax license and remit the city’s 7% accommodations tax on stays under 30 days, on top of state and county sales taxes. Homeowners are also responsible for confirming their HOA permits STRs, since HOA restrictions may independently prohibit STRs in specific neighborhoods regardless of city rules. The city runs a 24/7 complaint line for enforcement. The published ordinance does not specify a maximum number of rental nights per year, nor an owner-occupancy or primary-residence requirement, so non-owner-occupied whole-home rentals appear allowed, subject to the one-property cap. Enforcement is classified as moderate.

The more distinctive comparison for Westminster specifically is its one-property-per-operator cap, a genuine limit on portfolio scale that sets it apart from Denver-metro neighbors in this same dataset that may not have an equivalent rule.
