Arizona requires STR operators to hold an ADOR TPT license and maintain a local contact person under the 2022 ARS 9-500.39 amendment. No separate county registration exists.
Under the 2022 amendment to ARS 9-500.39, short-term rental operators must maintain a local contact person who can respond to complaints within a reasonable time. The contact information must be provided to the local jurisdiction upon request. Pima County cannot require a separate STR registration, permit, or license beyond the state TPT license from the Arizona Department of Revenue. Operators must register with ADOR for a TPT license to collect and remit transient lodging taxes. The 2022 amendment also requires operators to display their TPT license number on rental listings. While the county cannot create a mandatory STR registry, ADOR maintains a statewide database of TPT licensees. Pima County may request contact information and TPT license numbers from operators for enforcement of the limited regulations allowed under the 2022 amendment (noise, trash, nuisance). Platforms like Airbnb and VRBO may collect tax identification information as part of their listing requirements.
Operating without TPT license: ADOR penalties plus back taxes. Failure to provide contact person: up to $1,000 per violation per day under 2022 amendment. Failure to display TPT number on listings: ADOR enforcement.
