Vail’s Vision

"To be the Premier International Mountain Resort Community"

Housing Department Vision

The Town of Vail is the resort community leader in ensuring the availability of homes for year-round Vail residents. Year-round residents, along with their homes, prove critical to maintaining and sustaining the premier international mountain resort community. In Vail, homes for residents are seen as infrastructure - a community support system - not unlike roads, bridges, water and sewer and similar services delivered by municipal government.

Housing Department Mission

"Realizing Vail’s Vision One Deed-Restriction at a Time."

The Housing Department exists to advocate and advance the Town’s vision as the leader amongst mountain resort communities in ensuring the availability of homes for year-round Vail residents. We preserve and protect existing and future homes for resident occupancy by acquiring deed restrictions obtained through public/private partnerships, strategic initiatives, regulatory obligations, innovative programs and collaboration within the community and the region.

Housing Lottery

Since 1996, the town has helped more than 199+ local employees purchase homes within Vail’s boundaries. There are currently 900+ deed-restricted rental and for-sale employee housing units within the Town of Vail.
