Existing vacation and short-term rental properties in Scottsdale had until Jan. 8 to register for the new operating license, but city estimates show many have yet to apply days after the deadline.
As of Jan. 8, Scottsdale’s ordinance regarding short-term rentals is in effect and any vacation or short-term rental properties operating without a license are doing so illegally.
Scottsdale, like other Arizona cities, has spent the past year working on a solution to manage its short-term and vacation rentals following the passage of Senate Bill 1168.
