Can I Airbnb my Broomfield ADU?
✓ Verified against code · August 20, 2026
No. Short-term rentals are categorically barred in ADUs under the city's short-term rental chapter. That is a local choice the state ADU law expressly permits a jurisdiction to make.

How current is this?
Broomfield’s ADU rules run under BMC §17-32-160 (Accessory Dwelling Units) (Ordinance 2265). Broomfield is a consolidated city and county. Ordinance 2265, adopted September 9, 2025 and effective a week later, aligned its code with HB24-1152 and went further than the statute requires on owner-occupancy: the repeal of any residency requirement was in the ordinance from first reading and survived to adoption. Its parking test, though, is built differently from the statute's. We verified this answer against primary sources on August 20, 2026, and every change we catch is logged in the changelog.
