Frequently Asked Questions
To determine whether owners in Spyglass Townhomes are permitted to short-term rent their properties, there is generally a two-part analysis:
- Do the Spyglass Townhomes homeowners' association and governing documents allow owners to short-term rent? No. Provisions in the bylaws, covenants and governing documents for Spyglass Townhomes prevent owners from renting their units for any period less than 30 consecutive days. As a result, short-term rentals are essentially prohibited in Spyglass Townhomes. Owners in Spyglass Townhomes may long-term rent their properties for a minimum of 30 consecutive days or more.
- Does the local governmental authority currently allow a property owner to obtain a new Spyglass Townhomes short-term rental license? This question would normally be the next part of the analysis. However, since the Spyglass Townhomes subdivision has historically prohibited (and still now currently bans) short-term rentals from taking place within the complex, there is no need to further investigate this question.
Spyglass Townhomes homeowners' association dues include the following expenses:
- Common area maintenance
- Common area management
- Common insurance

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 Colorado 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 Spyglass Townhomes, there is a 1% transfer tax. Dependent on contractual negotiation between the parties, either the seller or buyer will have to potentially pay 1% of the total purchase price at closing as part of a property sale in Spyglass Townhomes. Or, the parties to a Spyglass Townhomes transaction could negotiate to split the 1% transfer tax.
The governing documents for the Spyglass Townhomes homeowners' association permit property owners to have pets within their properties. And, long-term renters are also allowed to keep pets in properties in the Spyglass Townhomes subdivision. Because the Spyglass Townhomes HOA prohibits short-term rentals, we need not consider whether they are permitted to have pets within properties.
