Short-term rental operators in Sahuarita must collect and remit Arizona Transaction Privilege Tax and applicable Pima County taxes. Combined lodging tax rates include state, county, and town components totaling approximately 12-13 percent.
Operators of short-term rentals in Sahuarita must obtain a Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) license from the Arizona Department of Revenue and collect applicable taxes on rental income. The combined rate includes the Arizona state TPT rate, Pima County excise tax, and the Sahuarita town privilege tax. For transient lodging (rentals of less than 30 consecutive days), the combined rate typically falls in the 12-13 percent range. Platforms like Airbnb and VRBO collect and remit state and county taxes on behalf of hosts in Arizona, but operators should verify that all applicable local taxes are being collected. The Sahuarita town portion of the tax is collected through the Arizona Simplified TPT system. Operators who collect $75,000 or more annually may have different reporting requirements. Failure to register and collect taxes can result in back-tax assessments, penalties, and interest from ADOR. Arizona does not impose a separate tourism or bed tax beyond the TPT framework, simplifying compliance compared to some other states.
ADOR may assess back taxes, penalties of up to 25 percent of tax due, and interest for failure to register and remit. TPT license suspension possible for chronic non-compliance.
