Good Neighbor Guidelines

The Good Neighbor Guidelines are a code of ethics for Summit County visitors staying in a short-term vacation rental unit. These guidelines help ensure that our community remains safe, enjoyable and beautiful for everyone

who lives, works and plays in Summit County.

24-Hour Responsible Agent Contact Information: If at any time you have concerns about your stay, or in regard to your neighbors, please call the 24-hour contact number listed in the rental lease agreement or posted in the property. In the event of an emergency, call 911.

Wildfire Safety and Prevention: Wildfire is a serious risk here, and fire restrictions may be in place, depending on conditions and time of year. Even if fire restrictions are not in place, be vigilant: Only use approved outdoor devices, and ensure that a responsible adult is always present until a fire is out cold.

Visitors must check to see whether fire restrictions are in effect before lighting a fire outdoors, smoking outdoors, or using outdoor grills, barbecues or stoves. Visit www.SummitCountyCO.gov/wildfire to find current fire restrictions and other wildfire prevention information.

In the event of a wildfire, sign up to receive emergency information at www.SCAlert.org.

Respect for Wildlife: Summit County is blessed with a diversity of wildlife, including bears, elk, moose, mountain lions, marmots, bighorn sheep, mountain goats and beavers. It can be exciting to view Colorado’s wildlife, but it is important to do so at a safe distance. Most dangerous and potentially harmful encounters with wildlife occur because people fail to leave animals alone. Wildlife should not be harassed, captured, domesticated or fed.

Intentional or inadvertent feeding is the major cause of most wildlife problems. It is illegal in Colorado to intentionally place or distribute feed, salt blocks or other attractants for large animals. Please see the attached wildlife fact sheet for more information about your responsibilities related to wildlife.

Respect for Neighbors: Please be friendly and courteous, and treat your neighbors as you would like to be treated. Respect your neighbors and their property.

Noise and Outdoor Lighting: Be considerate of the neighborhood and your neighbors’ right to the quiet and peaceful enjoyment of their home and property, especially after 11 p.m. The Summit County Sherriff’s Office may be contacted if Summit County’s noise ordinance is not followed. Do not direct outdoor lighting toward neighbors’ homes, and do not leave outdoor lights on when you check out.

Maintenance of Property: Be sure to keep the property clean, presentable and free of trash and debris.

Waste Disposal: Place all trash and recycling in the designated containers stored indoors, in order to prevent issues for wildlife or snow removal operators. Your Responsible Agent must provide a County-approved trash disposal and collection plan. Cigarette butts should be properly extinguished, cooled and disposed of in a trash receptacle.

Parking & Traffic Safety: All vehicles must park in the designated parking spaces provided. Do not park on roadways, lawns or in a manner that blocks driveways, sidewalks, alleys or mailboxes.

Maximum Capacity: This short-term rental unit has a

maximum capacity of __(depends on the unit)___ overnight guests, and this limit cannot be exceeded for any reason.

Driving Conditions: The combination of extreme weather conditions and steep grades can create treacherous driving conditions in Colorado’s mountains. Summit County roads are only plowed once per day and can become impassable. It is highly recommended that your vehicle be equipped with the following, September through May: 4WD or AWD. snow tires or mud/snow tires (M+S) with minimum 1/8 inch tread, functioning defrosts (front and back), sturdy ice scraper and snow brush, windshield fluid rated for 0 degrees F or colder, shovel, gloves, boots and other winter clothing.

In winter conditions, give plow trucks extra space, do not pass plow trucks, drive slowly, increase your following distance from other vehicles, avoid stopping on an uphill slope, use the left lane only for passing, and never use cruise control.

If weather conditions require, CDOT will implement a Traction Law on state highways (e.g., I-70, U.S. Hwy. 6, and Colo. Hwy. 9). Under a Traction Law, motorists will need to have either snow tires, M+S tires, or a four-wheel/all-wheel drive vehicle. All tires must have a minimum 1/8 inch tread. Motorists driving with inadequate equipment could be fined more than $130. If a motorist blocks the roadway because they have inadequate equipment during a Traction Law, they could be fined more than $650.

Pets: If pets are allowed in your rental unit, you must promptly clean-up after pets, prevent excessive and prolonged barking, and keep pets from roaming the neighborhood or harassing wildlife. Control aggressive pets and be sure to abide by the local leash laws. Dogs must be on leashes when on the Summit County Recreational Pathway System. Store pet food indoors in a secure container to reduce the likelihood of attracting wildlife and pests.

Tenant/Guest Responsibility: Approved guests and visitors are expected to follow the Good Neighbor Guidelines. Be sure to read your rental agreement for additional terms and restrictions, which may include consequences for failures to abide by the Good Neighbor Guidelines.
