Page, AZ short-term rental registration
Page sits at the top of Lake Powell, where the visitor economy is the economy, and its licensing programme is priced accordingly — but not above the line. Ordinance 753-26 created a short-term rental licensing programme with a fee of $230, renewed annually at the same amount. Arizona caps any city permit fee at the actual cost of issuing it or $250, whichever is less, so Page has set itself twenty dollars under the statutory ceiling. The planning and zoning office and the city clerk share the programme between them.[3]

Page Arizona short-term rental license
Page operates a short-term rental licensing programme under Ordinance 753-26. The licence fee is $230, with an annual renewal fee of the same $230, and the city's published fee schedule notes that Arizona Revised Statutes allow up to $250 per licence. That ceiling is the one A.R.S. § 9-500.39 sets for every Arizona city: a permit fee may not exceed the actual cost of issuing the permit or $250, whichever is less, which is why no Arizona town on this site charges more. The programme is administered between the planning and zoning director and the city clerk's office, and the full ordinance text sits with the city's regulatory documents alongside the zoning code. As in the rest of Arizona, the city cannot prohibit short-term rentals or cap how many nights you let, and the application may ask for only the six things the statute lists.[3]
