Arizona requires every residential rental owner to register the property with the county assessor under A.R.S. §33-1902. In Mohave County you file owner and, if you live out of state, statutory-agent details with the Mohave County Assessor. There is no separate county rental license; short-term rentals register separately.
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.
Residential rental property may not be occupied until the information is on file with the assessor. Under §33-1902 a city or town may impose a civil penalty of $150 per day for failing to register or update the record.
