Short-Term Rentals in Lakewood

Consultation has concluded.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the survey, which is now closed. You can view the survey results here. Your comments have been shared with City Council as they continue to determine how to proceed on this issue.

Over the past few years, the city of Lakewood has increasingly received inquiries from residents about their ability to use their homes as short-term rentals, which are currently not allowed in Lakewood. Short-term rentals are considered rentals of individual rooms or an entire home for 30 days or less. The city of Lakewood is requesting public comment on whether to allow short-term rentals (STR) in residential neighborhoods. City Council would like to hear the potential positive and negative impacts you think short-terms rentals may have on your neighborhoods.
