Arizona Short Term Rental licenses, tracked the same honest way.

The state frame: A.R.S. 9-500.39 (from Senate Bill 1350) bars every Arizona city, town, and county from prohibiting short term rentals or regulating them based on classification, use, or occupancy. Senate Bill 1168 (2022) gave cities a limited permit lane: a license or permit with the fee capped at $250 or actual cost, liability insurance of at least $500,000, neighbor notification, and a 24 hour emergency contact. Two things apply everywhere: a state Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) license for stays under 30 days, and a rental registration with the county assessor (A.R.S. 33-1902) before the property is occupied. HOAs can still ban Short Term Rentals privately, and HOA rules are not in any public dataset.

Scottsdale (live data): license per property under Ordinance 4566, $250 per year, for rentals under 30 days. TPT license first with Scottsdale region code SC, Maricopa County Assessor registration before occupancy, neighbor notification plus a liability insurance attestation, license number in every ad, maximum family size of 6 adults plus dependent children, no commercial events.

Phoenix (founding waitlist): a city Short Term Rental permit is required since November 6, 2023, through the SHAPE PHX portal, $250 initial and renewal. TPT license and Maricopa County registration first, $500,000 of liability insurance, certified mail neighbor notification (adjacent, across the street, and diagonal owners, plus homeowner and neighborhood associations within 600 feet), permit number on every ad, no nonresidential or event use. Accessory dwelling units with a certificate of occupancy issued on or after September 14, 2024 also need a notarized owner occupancy attestation, effective April 4, 2026. Phoenix publishes permits one record at a time inside its portal and offers no dataset or feed, so there is no honest pull to build yet.

Sedona (founding waitlist): Sedona banned Short Term Rentals until state law took the ban away in 2017, and the city still cannot cap how many Short Term Rentals operate, home rule charter or not. What it requires is a city permit per unit under City Code chapter 5.25, $210 per year, non transferable, with a valid TPT license required to apply and renew, at least $500,000 of liability insurance, the permit number on every listing, and no special events of any size. Permits run through a MUNIRevs account and the city publishes no machine readable permit list, so Sedona is waitlist until that changes.

Tempe (live data): license per unit since March 6, 2023 (Ordinance O2023.01) for rentals of 29 days or less, $250 if issued January through June and $187.50 if issued July 1 or later, expiring every January 1. TPT license, Maricopa County Assessor registration, and proof of $500,000 liability coverage come first; neighbor notification follows approval.

Also checked: Mesa licenses Short Term Rentals at $250 per unit under Mesa City Code 5-15 through its Accela portal, with no public dataset found. Apache Junction has no city Short Term Rental license program; rentals there register with the Pinal County Assessor under the general residential rental law, and no public Short Term Rental license list exists. Both are revisited the moment a real feed appears.
