Arizona's 2022 STR law requires hosting platforms to confirm that each Tucson listing carries a valid local permit number and to remove non-compliant listings on city request. Platforms that knowingly host unregistered units face state civil penalties.
ARS 9-500.39 as amended in 2022 obliges online hosting platforms to require operators to enter a city-issued STR registration number before listings go live. Tucson's STR ordinance under Chapter 7 Article X-A integrates with that scheme: the city sends platforms a delisting request when a unit is unregistered, suspended, or has lapsed insurance. Platforms must comply within ten days. The Arizona Department of Revenue separately requires platforms to collect and remit transient-lodging TPT on each booking. Hosts can no longer rely on stealth listings to avoid registration; the platform layer enforces compliance.
Platforms that knowingly facilitate unregistered Tucson STRs may face civil penalties up to $1,000 per non-compliant listing per day under ARS 9-500.39, plus joint TPT liability with the host.
