Conifer, CO

Conifer Regulations

STRs are conditionally allowed in unincorporated Jefferson County (including Conifer), but investors face a mandatory two-step approval with a public hearing before the Board of Adjustment, a minimum one-acre lot size, a strict five-bedroom cap, defensible space and parking requirements, and initial permits valid only six months. Permitting is costly (often a few thousand dollars first year), administrative renewals are required, and the county is ramping up enforcement with third‑party monitoring—creating compliance burden and regulatory uncertainty.
