Gilbert requires STR operators to collect and remit Transaction Privilege Tax on all short-term stays. A town STR license and state TPT license are both required for legal operation.
Gilbert STR operators must obtain a town STR license and a state Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) license. All rental income from stays under 30 days is subject to city and state TPT. Operators must file regular tax returns and remit collected taxes to the Arizona Department of Revenue. Gilbert's licensing division monitors compliance with both licensing and tax requirements. As of January 2025, long-term rental stays of 30 or more days are exempt from city TPT under Arizona law changes. Operators must maintain accurate records of all rental transactions.
Operating without required licenses or failing to collect and remit TPT results in enforcement action from both the town and Arizona Department of Revenue.
