This bill proposes several updates to the current statutes regarding vacation rentals and short-term rentals in Arizona. It introduces new provisions allowing cities and counties to limit the number of such rentals based on population or by setting an overall cap. Additionally, it modifies existing requirements for owners to provide emergency contact information, imposing a civil penalty for non-compliance, and clarifies the information needed for local regulatory permits, including the owner's telephone number and email address. The bill also mandates that owners notify adjacent properties before renting and display the local regulatory permit number or transaction privilege tax license number in advertisements.

Furthermore, the bill makes specific deletions and changes to existing language, such as replacing "act" with "offense" in the context of felony convictions and clarifying the grounds for judicial relief related to serious offenses occurring at rental properties. It also updates the penalties for failing to apply for a local regulatory permit, changing the terminology from "fines" to "civil penalties" and specifying the conditions under which multiple violations are assessed. Overall, these changes aim to enhance regulation and accountability for vacation and short-term rentals in the state.
