Queen Creek, AZ Short-Term Rentals: Registration Rules (2026)

Every short-term rental located inside the Town of Queen Creek must be registered, and there is no cost to register. The Town's stated purpose for registration is to ensure contact information is on file in the event of an emergency, to provide information on prohibited uses, and to share other helpful information with operators. Registration is handled through the Development Services Department, and owners use the same channel to update registration or contact details by emailing Development@QueenCreekAZ.gov or calling 480-358-3909. A required precondition is a state transaction privilege tax (TPT) license: the Arizona Department of Revenue requires every short-term rental to hold a TPT license whether or not an online lodging marketplace such as Airbnb or VRBO is used to advertise and book the property. This registration framework follows A.R.S. § 9-500.39, which allows Arizona municipalities to require a permit or registration and to collect specified applicant information — owner name, address, phone and email; the property address; proof of the TPT license; and emergency contact details — but caps any fee and prohibits an outright ban. Queen Creek's program charges no fee.
