CITY OF ASPEN 2.0% LODGING TAX

 

In order to raise revenues for specific purposes (25% to fund the Local Transit Services and 75% to promote tourism in Aspen), voters have approved a Lodging Tax of 2.0%.

 

  • The City of Aspen's Lodging Tax applies to all lodging stays of less than 30 days within Aspen's city limits.  
  • The City's 2.1% sales tax and 2.0% lodging tax are remitted directly to the City of Aspen on the same return.

 

The total combined tax rate for short term lodging rentals is 11%.  

 

Any businesses or individuals renting or leasing short term lodging for stays of less than 30 days will be required to file two tax returns:

    1. City of Aspen Return with combined 2.1% sales tax and 2.0% lodging tax; and
    2. State of Colorado Return with combined Pitkin County (3.6%), Roaring Fork Transportation Authority (0.4%), and State of Colorado (2.9%) for a total of 6.9%.
