Frequently Asked Questions

Can new property owners in Mountain Country conduct short-term rentals?

The Mountain Country subdivision is part of the Wildernest neighborhood, which in turn is located in unincorporated Summit County. Accordingly, the Summit County Board of County Commissioners sets the short-term rental rules that govern the Mountain Country subdivision as well as all other neighborhoods located in Wildernest. As far as the Mountain Country subdivision is concerned, Summit County defines a "short-term rental" as any residential dwelling unit or room therein that is rented for periods of less than 30 consecutive days. Mountain Country rentals, which are longer than 30 consecutive days in length, are instead considered to be a "long-term rental". And, long-term rentals in Mountain Country are encouraged by Summit County government, because they help provide housing to local employees. Summit County is not currently contemplating new restrictions for Mountain Country long-term rentals. Accordingly, when owners in Mountain Country seek to long-term rent their properties (or any part thereof) for more than thirty consecutive days, they need not be concerned with new STR rules or obtaining a STR license.

Is transfer tax owed when a Mountain Country property is bought or sold?

A real estate transfer tax is a payment to a governmental entity, which is sometimes made when a real estate transaction occurs. Real estate transfer tax is generally calculated as a small percentage of the total purchase price agreed on by the parties to a real estate transaction. Typically, we find in Summit County that the percentage is either 0%, 1%, 1,5% or 2% of the gross purchase price in section 4 of the the standard real estate contract. In Summit County, transfer tax funds help to pay for a variety of different community improvements. Whether the buyer or seller pays transfer tax is negotiable as part of each real estate transaction.

In Mountain Country, there is 0% transfer tax. That means neither seller nor buyer will have to potentially pay transfer tax as part of a property sale in Mountain Country!
