Important: call 911 immediately if you have a life-threatening emergency or if you know of a threat to public safety.

Apply for a short-term rental permit

Property owners must set up an account with the City in order to apply for a short-term rental permit. Please email the following information to Teresah Arthur, Short-term Rental Specialist, at tarthur@sedonaaz.gov:

  • Address of property to be permitted
  • Owner name(s)
  • Owner mailing address:  if an owner will not be residing full time at their short-term rental property, the City requires an alternate mailing address where the owner receives their regular mail.

After the account is set up, an email will be sent with codes and instructions to verify the account and apply for a permit.

Renewing a permit

Owners who currently have a short-term rental permit that is up for renewal can renew the permit online using their current MUNIRevs account. The link is located under OPEN TASKS on the main account page.

How do I know when to renew? All short-term rental permits display their start date and expiration date.  If you do not have a printed copy of your permit, you may log into your account to print a new copy

Why do I need a permit?

On July 6, 2022, Governor Doug Ducey signed Senate Bill 1168 allowing Arizona cities and towns to require all short-term rentals to acquire a permit to operate. The City added Chapter 5.25 to the City Code listing short-term rental regulations.
