Short-term stays owe Arizona Transaction Privilege Tax plus county and city rates. Airbnb and Vrbo collect and remit TPT. Owners must also record the property with the Mohave County Assessor.
Arizona taxes lodging under 30 days through the Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT), combining a state rate with Mohave County and city components. Airbnb and Vrbo automatically collect and remit TPT on their bookings; direct bookings require the host to register with the Arizona Department of Revenue at AZTaxes.gov and file returns. Separately, A.R.S. §33-1902 requires owners to record residential rental property, including short-term rentals, with the Mohave County Assessor. Cities add their own fees: Bullhead City's STR permit runs $250 a year, and the Assessor may charge a small recording fee.
Unremitted TPT accrues penalties and interest through the Department of Revenue. Failing to record the property with the County Assessor can bring a $150-per-day civil penalty under A.R.S. §33-1902.
