Sedona City Code §5.25.050 prohibits STRs from hosting any event requiring a special-event permit (weddings, large parties, banquets) and from operating as retail businesses, restaurants, or event centers.
STRs in Sedona are strictly residential overnight accommodations. The ordinance imports compliance with all federal, state, and local laws, including noise (Ch. 8.25), property maintenance, sanitation, and nuisance abatement standards. The city may inspect any STR upon reason for concern that it does not meet habitability standards. Use must conform to the underlying zoning district's permitted uses under the Land Development Code.
Permit revocation for one year is possible for repeat special-event violations. Civil penalties under §5.25.120 escalate per occurrence.
