Page Arizona short-term rental license
Page operates a short-term rental licensing program under Ordinance 753-26. The license fee is $230, with an annual renewal fee of the same $230. The city's published fee schedule notes that Arizona Revised Statutes allow up to $250 per license. A.R.S. § 9-500.39 sets that ceiling for every Arizona city. A permit fee may not exceed the actual cost of issuing the permit or $250, whichever is less. The program is administered between the planning and zoning director and the city clerk's office. 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 rent. The application may ask for only the six things the statute lists.[4]
