In a statement that accompanied his signing of House Bill 2672, Ducey said, “In Arizona, we respect the right to do what we want with our property without undue government interference. I am open to corrective action if this bill is applied too broadly.”
Key provisions of House Bill 2672
House Bill 2672 amended the 2017 law, which prohibited local governments from restricting or regulating vacation or short-term rentals based on their classification, use or occupancy except for these reasons:
- Protecting the public’s health and safety.
- Adopting and enforcing residential use and zoning ordinances.
- Limiting or prohibiting the use of a vacation or short-term rental for the purposes of housing sex offenders.
The newly-signed House Bill 2672 gives local governments authority to restrict vacation and short-term rentals such as prohibiting events that requires permits. It also requires the owners of a vacation or short-term rental to provide contact information for the person responsible for responding to complaints
