Your Local Responsible Agent for Short-Term Rentals
A 24/7 point of contact, one-hour response to your property, and the local paperwork handled. We take the part of STR ownership that's hardest to do from afar.
What Ordinance 20-03 Says
Park County's Short-Term Rental Ordinance requires every licensed STR to name a Responsible Agent. Here's what that actually means.
24/7 Availability
The Responsible Agent must be "available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week to respond as the initial point of contact for the short-term rental unit." Section 4.G.
One-Hour Response
The agent must be able to respond to the property "with a maximum response time of one (1) hour." Owners who cannot meet this travel requirement must name a local agent. Section 6.F.
Posted Contact Info
A sign inside the unit must display current owner and Responsible Agent contact information, including a phone number answered 24 hours a day for emergency response. Section 7.N.
Named on Your License
If the Responsible Agent is not the owner, the application must include documentation designating the agent, and both must agree to comply with the ordinance. Section 6.A.iii.
Penalties for Non-Compliance
Violations are civil infractions. Fines escalate from $200/day (first and second offense) to $300/day (third) to up to $1,000/day for subsequent violations. Section 12.E.

The Responsible Agent Service
Everything you need to name Timberline as your Responsible Agent on a Park County STR license.
Dedicated Agent Phone Line
A Park County local number answered 24/7 for your guests, neighbors, and County officials. Printed on your in-unit signage as the ordinance requires.
One-Hour On-Site Response
When an on-site visit is needed for a lockout, neighbor complaint, damage, or County inspection, a local responder will be at the property inside the ordinance's one-hour window.
Ordinance-Compliant Signage
We prepare the in-unit sign required by Section 7.N (evacuation plan, license number, max occupancy, address, emergency contacts, shutoff locations) and keep it updated.
Incident Logging
Every guest call, neighbor complaint, on-site visit, and escalation is logged with timestamps, photos where relevant, and outcomes. You get a monthly report.
License Renewal Reminders
Park County STR licenses expire annually. We flag your renewal window 45 days out so you don't lose your license to a missed deadline.

From Sign-Up to Compliant in Four Steps
Onboarding is straightforward. Most owners can name us as their Responsible Agent inside a week.
Intake Call
A 30-minute call to collect the property basics: address, STR license status, on-site specs, and the information Section 7.N requires us to post on your unit's sign.
Designation Letter
We issue the agent-designation document the County requires for Section 6.A.iii, along with the Responsible Agent Form. Both go to the Department with your application or renewal.
Signage Installed
We print and install the compliant in-unit sign (emergency info, license number, agent contact with 24-hour phone, shutoff locations, good-neighbor guidelines) so your unit is inspection-ready.
We're On Call
The agent line is live 24/7. Guest, neighbor, or County call, we respond. On-site within one hour when needed. Monthly incident report delivered to you.
The Owner Remains Legally Responsible
Ordinance 20-03, Section 7.S, states plainly:
"Compliance with, and ensuring compliance with, the requirements set forth in this Ordinance shall be a nondelegable responsibility of the owner of a STR Unit."
Naming us as your Responsible Agent is required by the ordinance and makes the practical side work. It does not transfer your legal liability as the owner. We operate as your agent under your license, and we are transparent about that up front.

Common Questions
Yes. The license is issued to the owner. The Responsible Agent is named on the application as your designated point of contact. Without a valid license, it is unlawful to lease or advertise the property for short-term stays.
Yes, if you can meet the travel requirement (available 24/7 with a one-hour response to the property). Owners who live out of state, out of the county, or who travel frequently typically cannot meet that requirement reliably, which is where we come in.
Lockouts, noise or neighbor complaints that require verification, visible property damage, guest injury, septic or water issues, and any contact from County code enforcement or law enforcement. Routine guest questions (Wi-Fi, check-in, parking) are handled by phone.
Housekeeping, snow removal, home watch inspections, hot tub service, and any repair work. Those are separate services we offer (or can coordinate). The Responsible Agent role is narrowly about being the 24/7 point of contact and responder the ordinance requires.
Ordinance 20-03 applies only to unincorporated Park County. The Town of Fairplay and the Town of Alma have separate regulations for STRs within their limits. We only act as Responsible Agent for properties under the County ordinance.
Plans start at $80/month, or $675/year (saving 30%). Full breakdown in the Service Levels section above.
