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

In June 2023, the Gilbert Town Council approved a new Short-Term Rental Ordinance to help regulate short-term rentals operating within the Town. This new ordinance requires property owners to obtain and maintain a Town of Gilbert Short-Term Rental License. The Town of Gilbert has partnered with GovOS to facilitate the short-term rental licensing process. [...] Step 1: Obtain a Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) license from the Arizona Department of Revenue (ADOR). A valid TPT license is required to rent your property in Gilbert. Each property address should be listed on your license. Your TPT license number will be required to register your property with GovOS. Step 2: Complete Maricopa County Assessor's Office registration. Each rental property must be registered with Maricopa County Assessor's Office. Proof of this requirement will be required to register your property with GovOS. If the property is your primary residence and you only rent specific portions of it (one bedroom, a casita, etc.) you are not required to register with Maricopa County but are still required to upload proof of ownership at the time of application. Step 3: Complete Neighbor Notification. Before using your property as a short-term rental, you must notify all single-family residential properties adjacent to, directly and diagonally across the street from your property. In a multi-family residential building, you must notify all units on the same building floor. [...] Step 4: GovOS registration. After successful completion of Steps 1-3, you will register your property with GovOS.
