Short-term rental permit rules in Coconino County, AZ — also called Airbnb permits, vacation rental licenses, or STR registration — list the application steps, fees, and operating requirements for hosting.
Arizona law (A.R.S. §11-269.17) bars Coconino County from banning short-term rentals. Flagstaff requires an annual STR license and Sedona a per-unit permit; unincorporated owners register with the County Assessor.
Arizona strongly protects short-term rentals. Under A.R.S. §11-269.17, Coconino County cannot prohibit STRs or require owner-occupancy; it may only regulate health and safety, require emergency-contact information, and require a permit. In unincorporated areas, owners must record the property with the Coconino County Assessor under A.R.S. §33-1902. The cities regulate hardest because of severe housing pressure: Flagstaff requires an annual STR license under City Code 3-12 (about $185, rising $5 a year) with a 24-hour emergency contact and neighbor notice, and Sedona requires a permit for each advertised unit (about $210) plus $500,000 liability insurance. The parallel city statute is A.R.S. §9-500.39.
Flagstaff can fine owners who fail to license after notice up to $1,000 per month. Sedona fines and can suspend permits for verified violations. Failing to record with the County Assessor risks a $150-per-day penalty under A.R.S. §33-1902.
