Online platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo must confirm a Mesa short-term rental holds a valid registration before listing. Mesa may require the platform to remove non-compliant listings after written notice under ARS §9-500.39 amendments.
Arizona's 2022 amendments to ARS §9-500.39 require online lodging marketplaces to display the operator's local registration number on listings and to verify that registration before publishing the unit. Mesa enforces those provisions by sending platforms a notice when a listing lacks a current city registration or when the unit's registration has been suspended after repeat violations. Platforms must remove or delist within a set timeframe or risk civil penalties. Mesa coordinates with the Department of Revenue, which licenses transient lodging marketplaces statewide and shares enforcement data.
Platforms ignoring takedown notices face civil penalties and may forfeit the safe-harbor protections that shield them from concurrent operator violations under state law.
