Arizona HB-2672 (2022) and ARS §9-500.39 require online hosting platforms to display a Phoenix-issued vacation rental registration number on each listing, collect Transaction Privilege Tax, and provide listing data to Arizona on request.
Under the amended ARS §9-500.39, online lodging marketplaces such as Airbnb and Vrbo must list the Phoenix vacation rental registration number on each Phoenix property advertisement, refuse to publish unregistered listings, and report listing data to the Arizona Department of Revenue on request. Platforms also collect and remit Arizona Transaction Privilege Tax and applicable bed tax for each booking. Platforms that knowingly accept unregistered listings or fail to display required identifiers may face civil penalties. Hosts remain ultimately responsible for compliance with Phoenix registration, insurance, neighbor notification, and noise and occupancy standards.
Platforms that publish unregistered Phoenix listings, omit registration numbers, or fail to remit Transaction Privilege Tax may face civil penalties from the state. Hosts using such platforms remain liable for unpaid taxes and city ordinance violations regardless.
