Casa Grande, AZ Short-Term Rentals: Short-Term Rental Permits (2026)

Under Casa Grande Municipal Code § 5.28.030(A), the owner of a short-term rental must obtain an annual short-term rental permit from the city before using the property as a short-term rental, and offering the property for rent without meeting this requirement is prohibited outright. The permit application under subsection B must include the property's address, the owner's contact information, each designee's contact information, the 24-hour emergency point of contact, proof of a valid Arizona transaction privilege tax license, and evidence the property is registered with the Pinal County Assessor under A.R.S. § 33-1902.

Under subsection D, the city must issue or deny the permit within seven business days of receiving the required information, and it can deny only for missing information, an unpaid fee, an existing suspended permit on the same property, false information, or an owner or designee who is a registered sex offender or has certain violent or weapons felony convictions within five years. Subsection F requires a short-term rental that fails to apply within 30 days of the application becoming available to immediately cease operations.

Permits run for one year under subsection H and are non-transferable under subsection I, whether by location or by person. The Finance Director administers denials and must give written notice, which under subsection E carries appeal rights to Section 5.28.110.
