Tempe STR operators must collect and remit Arizona Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) and local taxes on rental income. The combined tax rate includes state, county, and city components. Operators must hold a valid TPT license from the Arizona Department of Revenue.
Short-term rental income in Tempe is subject to Arizona TPT, Maricopa County tax, and the City of Tempe tax. Operators must register with the Arizona Department of Revenue and obtain a TPT license. Platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo collect state and county taxes automatically in Arizona, but operators should verify city-level tax compliance. Monthly or quarterly filing is required depending on revenue volume.
Failure to collect and remit taxes may result in penalties, interest, and back-tax assessments from the Arizona Department of Revenue. The city may also revoke STR registration for non-compliance.
