Phoenix's vacation rental ordinance escalates penalties for repeat short-term rental violations. Verified violations within twelve months trigger increasing fines and may lead to registration suspension or denial of renewal under HB-2672 authority.
Following HB-2672 (2022) Phoenix established escalating civil penalties for STR violations affecting noise, occupancy, parking, and safety. A first verified violation generally results in a written warning or modest fine. Additional verified violations within a rolling twelve-month period draw progressively larger fines, typically up to $500, $1,000, and $3,500 per the state-authorized framework. After multiple verified violations the city may suspend or refuse to renew the rental's registration. Property owners receive notice and an opportunity to be heard. The ordinance also requires owners to share contact information with adjacent neighbors so complaints can be addressed.
Repeated verified violations involving noise, overcrowding, parking, or unpermitted events trigger escalating fines and possible registration suspension or non-renewal. Each strike is recorded against the property and counts within a rolling twelve-month enforcement window.
