Short Term Rentals

The following sections outline the steps that short-term rental property owners must follow prior to renting their property: 

Step 1: Obtain a Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) license from the Arizona Department of Revenue 

• To obtain a short-term rental permit, you will be required to provide a TPT license number. 
• You can apply for a TPT license at AZ Taxes. 

Step 2: Notify the Pinal County Assessor’s Office of your property’s rental status 

• This notification can be completed by filling out and submitting the County’s Notification of Arizona Rental Property form (PDF). 
• Additional information can be found on the Pinal County Assessor’s Office’s website. 

Step 3: Apply for a Short-Term Rental Permit with the City 

• Next, you will apply for a Short-Term Rental Permit with the City. 
• Part of this application will include a $115 permit fee. This fee is limited to only cover the costs to manage the Short-Term Rental Permits (software, personnel costs, etc.). 
• If you have any questions or experience any issues registering, please contact the City. 

Step 4: Complete the required neighbor notification 

• Before renting your short-term rental, notify all single-family residential properties adjacent to, directly and diagonally across the street from your property. For multi-family residences, notify all residents on the same building floor. 
• Each notification is intended to make neighbors aware of the presence of the short-term rental and shall include the following 
  • The valid permit number issued by the City 
  • The physical address of the short-term rental 
  • The name, address, and twenty-four-hour phone number for the property’s emergency contact. 
• You may use this Notification Letter Template (PDF) to provide this required notification to your neighbors. 
• The Neighbor Notification Attestation form (PDF) must be submitted within seven business days of you receiving your Short-Term Rental Permit. 
• If any of the information provided in your notification changes, an updated written notice must be provided to your neighbors and updated on your online registration with the City within five business days. 

Step 5: Final and ongoing actions 

• Post the name, phone number, and email address for you and the property’s emergency contact in a location that can be easily seen in your rental property. 
• Ensure that all regulations found in the Casa Grande City Code 5.28 are followed. 
• Renew your short-term rental permit annually.

If you live adjacent to, directly or diagonally across the street from a short-term rental property, you should have received notice from the property owner that included 24-hour emergency contact information. If you believe that you live adjacent to or across from a short-term rental and have not received this notification, please contact the City. 

Activities that are legal at your private residence (gatherings, outside activities, reasonable music, on-street parking, etc.) are also allowed at short-term rentals. If you observe any activity at a short-term rental property that is inappropriate, illegal, or otherwise a public nuisance, please address by contacting the properties’ 24-hour emergency contact and/or by following the appropriate channels just as you would for any other residential property. For criminal matters, please contact the Casa Grande Police Department. For non-criminal/nuisance matters, please contact Code Enforcement (520-421-8685) or report the issue on SeeClickFix. Please also provide notice to the City by giving the property address and detailing the incident details so that it can be documented.
