Challenging to Investors
Lamar Regulations
Lamar has no city‑specific STR licensing or caps and does not list STRs in its Schedule of Uses, forcing investors to confirm whether STRs are permitted or require a conditional use permit—introducing time, hearings, and uncertainty. With only the Colorado Vacation Rental Act as a baseline, investors face unclear zoning risk and higher compliance burden until city confirmation is obtained.
