The market
Why Phoenix Is a Strong Short-Term Rental Market
Phoenix is Arizona's largest short-term-rental market, with a deep base of business, sports, and leisure travel plus a major airport feeding year-round demand across the metro.
A large, diverse visitor economy — conventions, major sports, spring training, and winter snowbirds — that smooths demand across the calendar.
A major international airport and metro scale that keep a steady flow of guests searching for well-priced, professional listings.
A competitive market where listing optimization and dynamic pricing create real separation between average and top-performing rentals.

Rules & taxes
Phoenix Short-Term Rental Rules & Taxes
Arizona law (A.R.S. § 9-500.39) prevents Phoenix from banning short-term rentals, but the city has required a permit since late 2023. This is what a Phoenix permit involves.
A Phoenix STR permit
Phoenix began issuing short-term rental permits on November 6, 2023, through its Planning & Development Department. The initial and renewal fee is $250 per permit, non-refundable.
TPT license and county rental status
You need an Arizona Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) license from the Department of Revenue, and the home's rental status must be updated with the Maricopa County Assessor's Office.
Neighbor notice, including HOAs within 600 feet
Send notice by certified mail to the adjacent properties and those directly and diagonally across the street (or every unit on your floor in a multi-family building). Phoenix also requires notice to any registered homeowners or neighborhood association whose boundaries fall within a 600-foot radius.
A safety-equipment description or map
The application includes a description or map showing where the home's safety equipment is located.
Permit number on every advertisement
Your Phoenix STR permit number must appear on each advertisement for the rental.
ADUs and casitas
Phoenix requires the property owner to live on site to use an ADU as a short-term rental. If the property has an ADU with a certificate of occupancy issued after September 14, 2024, state law lets Phoenix require the owner to live on the property to rent any part of it short-term, and from April 4, 2026 Phoenix asks for a notarized attestation.

Lodging taxes
Short stays are taxed like hotels: state and Maricopa County transient lodging tax plus Phoenix's city hotel taxes. Airbnb and Vrbo collect and remit Arizona TPT on bookings made through them; you still file returns, deduct that platform income, and owe the tax on direct bookings.

Pricing
Transparent, Performance-Based Pricing
BookedMore charges a percentage of your host payout — typically 15–20% — with no flat monthly fees and no setup costs. We only earn more when your Phoenix property earns more. Host payout is what the booking platform actually pays you after its own service fee. Cleaning fees are excluded.
For comparison, traditional full-service property management often runs in the 18–40% range as a general industry estimate. See exactly how our model works on the pricing page.
