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

S. S. 39 directly. Section 8-6-3 requires the owner of a vacation rental to register with the Town before renting it, on a form that discloses the property address, the owner's contact information, the name and 24-hour phone number of an emergency point of contact, proof of a valid state transaction privilege tax license, and confirmation that the owner and any designee are not registered sex offenders or convicted of a violent or weapons felony within the past five years. The Town must accept or deny a complete registration within seven business days, and can deny one only for missing or false information, a disqualifying criminal history, or a prior suspension or repeated violations at the same property.

Section 8-6-4 separately requires the emergency contact to be reachable within 60 minutes of a police request and to respond to other complaints within 24 hours, and Section 8-6-5 lists uses barred outright: special events, retail, restaurants, banquet halls, sober living homes, nudity, or the sale of liquor or drugs, and no operating without the state transaction privilege tax license. No one may collect a fee for facilitating a rental operating in violation of Article 8-6 or other law. An owner who fails to register within thirty days of the Town making the registration form available must stop operating immediately.
