Peoria, AZ Accessory Structures: ADU Rental Restrictions (2026)

Long-term rental (30 days or more) of Peoria ADUs is permitted with no city-imposed cap on occupants beyond the building code occupancy load. Short-term rentals (under 30 days) are regulated under Ariz. Rev. Stat. section 9-500.39 (as amended by HB 2672 and subsequent legislation), which authorizes cities to license short-term rentals, require contact information for a responsible party available 24 hours per day, require liability insurance of at least $500,000, and impose civil penalties for verified violations, but prohibits categorical bans on STR use of an ADU. Peoria adopted local STR registration requirements consistent with state law. License fees are capped at $250 to cover administrative costs under state law. Operators must give written notice to neighboring property owners and ensure an emergency contact is reachable for police response. Operators must also hold a TPT license from the Arizona Department of Revenue and remit applicable transient lodging taxes. Failure to register or to maintain required documentation can result in civil penalties under state law.
