Overview
This bill limits how cities and counties in Arizona can regulate vacation rentals and short-term rentals. It generally pre-empts local regulations, allowing cities and counties to only restrict these rentals to protect public health and safety, enforce zoning ordinances, or prohibit certain activities like housing sex offenders or operating adult-oriented businesses. It establishes a process for obtaining local permits, requires notification to nearby residents, and outlines penalties for non-compliance. The bill also addresses liability insurance and accessory dwelling units.
