AZ HB2711

Cities and towns cannot prohibit vacation rentals or short-term rentals, but may regulate them only for public health and safety, residential zoning and nuisance issues, prevention of illegal activities, and requiring owner contact information for complaint response.

Cities and towns must notify the Arizona Department of Revenue and property owners within 30 days of verified violations and must attempt to notify owners of citations within 7 business days using provided contact information.

Vacation rentals and short-term rentals cannot be used for nonresidential purposes, including special events, retail, restaurants, or banquet spaces.

Cities and towns with populations under 17,000 persons may require permits or licenses, limit the number of vacation rentals by percentage of residentially zoned buildings, and regulate them like transient lodging activities.

Defines "vacation rental" and "short-term rental" as single-family to four-family dwellings or condominium units offered for transient use but not classified as commercial property for taxation purposes, excluding units used for nonresidential purposes.
