Glendale STR operators pay a combined TPT rate of approximately 15.7% (state + county + city transient lodging). A state TPT license from ADOR is required. Platforms like Airbnb auto-collect Arizona TPT.
Glendale short-term rental operators must pay Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) at a combined rate of approximately 15.7%, which includes state, Maricopa County, and Glendale's city transient lodging tax of 2.2%. A state TPT license from the Arizona Department of Revenue (ADOR) is mandatory and the license number must appear in all advertisements. Major platforms such as Airbnb and Vrbo auto-collect and remit Arizona TPT as Online Lodging Marketplaces (OLMs). Operators using OLMs should deduct 100% of OLM income using deduction code 775 since the platform remits the tax. Direct bookings require the operator to collect and remit TPT quarterly. Operators must also register with the Maricopa County Assessor per ARS §33-1902. Even if no rental activity occurs in a filing period, a $0 TPT return must be filed. The city code for reporting short-term lodging to the city is business code 044 (Hotels).
Failure to collect/remit TPT: penalties and interest from ADOR. Operating without TPT license: additional fines. Filing late incurs penalty charges.
