Mohave County, AZ Rental Property Rules: Rental Registration (2026)

Registration is a statewide duty enforced locally. A.R.S. §33-1902 requires an owner of residential rental property to file the owner's name, address, and phone, the parcel's address and number, and a designated agent with the Mohave County Assessor before the unit may be occupied. An owner living outside Arizona must name an in-state statutory agent. There is no general Mohave County landlord license beyond this filing, though the incorporated cities regulate short-term vacation rentals under A.R.S. §9-500.39. The Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act still applies: the security deposit is capped at one and one-half month's rent under §33-1321, and it must be returned within fourteen business days of move-out.
