Arizona House Bill 2672 (2022) restored limited short-term rental authority to counties and cities. Maricopa County may require operator registration, emergency contact, and liability insurance, but cannot mandate the host be physically present during a guest stay.
ARS section 9-500.39 and the parallel county statute ARS section 11-269.17 (added by HB-2672 in 2022) authorize Arizona counties to require short-term rental operators to register, designate a local emergency contact answering within one hour, post permit numbers in listings, and carry at least five hundred thousand dollars in liability insurance or use a hosting platform that provides equivalent coverage. The statute does not allow Maricopa County to require the host to live on site or be present during a stay. Owner-occupied versus non-owner-occupied use cannot be distinguished. Maricopa County Planning enforces zoning standards and noise rules under Title XIII, but a hosted-stay mandate would conflict with state preemption and is unenforceable.
Operators who skip registration or fail to provide a one-hour emergency contact face civil penalties up to one thousand dollars first offense and fifteen hundred dollars repeat under ARS 11-269.17, plus county nuisance citations.
