Tucson may suspend a short-term rental permit after repeated verified violations of noise, occupancy, parking, or safety standards. Arizona's 2022 STR amendments to ARS 9-500.39 expressly allow cities to revoke licenses after multiple confirmed nuisance findings.
Senate Bill 1168 (2022) modified ARS 9-500.39 to let Arizona cities suspend an STR permit after the operator accumulates verified violations within a 12-month window. Tucson Chapter 7 Article X-A implements that authority: a property with three or more separate verified nuisance citations, a felony at the property, or a serious safety violation may have its registration suspended for up to 12 months. The city must provide notice and an administrative hearing before suspension. Common triggers include unruly-gathering citations, occupancy overages, repeated noise complaints confirmed by Tucson Police, and unpermitted operation after a prior warning.
Operating after suspension carries fines up to $3,500 per occurrence under ARS 9-500.39(O), and continued bookings can lead to a year-long ban on re-registering the property.
