Scottsdale Requires Short Term-Vacation Rental License- Ordinance 4655

On November 28, 2022 Scottsdale passed a new Ordinance 4655 that requires all short term rental or vacation rental owners to maintain a license through the city.  This is inline with the recent Arizona State law SB1168 that recently passed that requires each city to require a license to operate short term/vacation rental.  

Scottsdale is a large vacation destination and therefore has a high number of short term and vacation rentals, estimated by the city to be about 4,300 as of November 2022.  This new ordinance will be of interest for those who currently own and operate a short term/vacation rental as well as those who are considering operating one in the future.
