Proposed Bill Aims to Restrict STRs in Arizona Cities

12/22/2025

Arizona cities are pushing for legislation to rein in short-term rentals nearly a decade after a 2016 state law barred local bans. The League of Arizona Cities and Towns plans to propose a bill allowing municipalities to cap licenses, limit total numbers, impose distance requirements, and more easily revoke licenses for nuisance properties. City leaders argue large-scale investors have reduced housing availability, citing cases like Sedona, where up to 20% of housing is short-term rentals.
