Full Breakdown
The City of Goodyear does not define specific occupancy limits for short-term rentals beyond building code standards. Maximum occupancy is determined by the dwelling's International Building Code capacity based on square footage and egress. The 2022 amendments to ARS 9-500.39 gave cities enhanced authority to address party houses and overcrowding in STRs. Goodyear can take enforcement action against properties creating nuisance conditions from overcrowding, excessive noise, and parking overflow.
Violations & Fines
Overcrowding beyond code capacity is a violation. Repeated nuisance conditions from overcrowding may result in STR license revocation.
