What This Map Adds: This is the only map in the suite that shows all three pieces of the picture at once — who's licensed, who isn't, and where residents have actually complained — so you can see how they relate to each other, not just where each one sits on its own.

What This Map Shows
Three independently toggleable layers, drawing from two City data sources: the licensed STR registry (CORA Request 2026-209) and 130 complaint records combining two separate systems — 85 pre-2026 complaint records plus 45 records recovered from the City's Granicus compliance system (which went live at the end of 2025).
Licensed STRs — the 386 properties with an active City permit.
Still non-compliant after notice — from the Non-Compliance Map dataset.
Notice sent — same dataset.
Non-compliant, no notice on record — same dataset.
Resident complaints — 130 complaints, each tagged with how confidently it's linked to a property.
How Complaints Are Connected to Properties — Four Confidence Levels, Stated Plainly
1. CONFIRMED (8 complaints): the complaint record itself cites a real, verified permit number matching our licensed dataset. This is a genuine link, not an estimate.
2. ESTIMATED (86 complaints): no permit number on the complaint record, so it's matched to the nearest licensed or unlicensed STR within 300 feet. This is a proximity match, not a confirmed link — the nearest STR isn't necessarily the specific property the complaint was about, especially on blocks with several STRs close together.
3. TEST_RECORD (10 complaints): the complaint cites a permit number like “TEST25-0039” — a placeholder used in the City's own system, not a real license. Flagged and excluded from the licensed/unlicensed comparison rather than silently guessed at.
4. NO_MATCH (25 complaints): no permit number, and no STR of any kind within 300 feet. Shown on the map with no status attached.
With that stated plainly: of the 95 complaints that could be matched to a property (CONFIRMED + ESTIMATED), 65 (68.4%) are against licensed properties and 30 (31.6%) are against unlicensed/non-compliant ones. Licensed STRs are associated with roughly twice as many complaints as unlicensed ones in this dataset. This complicates any argument that licensing alone resolves neighborhood impact — it doesn't mean licensing is the wrong policy, but it does mean licensing status and complaint activity aren't the same thing.

- Use the fullscreen button (top left) for the best viewing experience on any device.
Data Source
- Licensed STR data: City of Arvada, CORA Request 2026-209 — 386 active licenses as of December 31, 2025.
- Non-compliance data: City of Arvada Granicus compliance system + April 23, 2026 notice letters.
- Complaint data: 85 records from prior City complaint files, plus 45 records from the Granicus compliance system (exported July 2026). 12 Granicus complaint records were excluded for unresolvable address data (blank fields, a wrong-city entry, and one garbled unit/street field) rather than guessed at.
