Full Breakdown

Section 13-08-090 of the Prescott Valley Town Code governs vacation rentals and short-term rentals in the Town of Prescott Valley, Arizona. Paragraph A says these rentals are permitted as required by A.R.S. § 9-500.39, subject to the requirements of the section, so the Town Council attaches conditions to the use instead of banning it. Paragraph B is the parking condition: owners shall provide all parking for guests on site in accordance with the residential parking requirements found in section 13-10-050 (off-street parking requirements).

Section 13-10-050(A) requires accessible off-street parking on the premises for every structure erected, every building converted to the listed uses, and every addition, except in the AG (agricultural) zone. The residential rows of its table set the counts: two spaces per dwelling unit for one- or two-family residences, one and a half per dwelling unit for efficiency and one-bedroom units in multiple family dwellings, and two per dwelling unit for units with two or more bedrooms in multiple family dwellings. Paragraph B points to those residential requirements, not to the separate hotel and motel row that asks for one space per guest room plus one per three employees.

Parking also touches the rental license. Paragraph K lets the Town start an administrative process to suspend a Town vacation rental license for up to 12 months after three verified violations within a 12-month period, but it leaves out any violation based on an aesthetic, solid waste disposal or vehicle parking violation that is not also a serious threat to public health and safety. That carve-out is written into paragraph K only. Paragraph M's civil penalty ladder refers to verified violations without it, and a verified violation means a finding of guilt or civil responsibility, finally adjudicated, for violating any state law or this section.

Violations & Fines

A parking failure is a breach of section 13-08-090(B). Once finally adjudicated it is a verified violation, and paragraph M sets civil penalties within the same 12-month period: up to $500 or one night's advertised rent, whichever is greater, for the first; up to $1,000 or two nights' rent for the second; and up to $3,500 or three nights' rent for a third and any subsequent one. Several violations from one incident response count as one under paragraph O.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can guests of a Prescott Valley short-term rental park on the street?
Section 13-08-090(B) says owners shall provide all parking for guests on site, in accordance with the residential parking requirements of section 13-10-050. The text carves out no street parking for rental guests, so the owner needs on-site spaces that cover the guests the rental is advertised to hold.
How many parking spaces does a single-family rental need in the Town of Prescott Valley?
The table in section 13-10-050(A) lists one- or two-family residences at two spaces per dwelling unit. Paragraph B of the rental section incorporates the residential requirements by reference, so that is the figure for a rental house or duplex outside the AG (agricultural) zone.
Does a parking violation count toward a Prescott Valley rental license suspension?
Paragraph K counts three verified violations in a 12-month period toward a suspension of up to 12 months, but it does not count one based on an aesthetic, solid waste disposal or vehicle parking violation unless that violation is also a serious threat to public health and safety.
What civil penalty applies to a first parking violation at a rental?
Paragraph M allows up to $500 or up to an amount equal to one night's rent as advertised, whichever is greater, for the first verified violation at the same rental within a 12-month period. A second carries up to $1,000 or two nights' rent, and a third or later up to $3,500 or three nights' rent.
