Goodyear requires short-term rental operators to obtain an annual city license ($250), maintain $500,000 in liability insurance, and conduct guest sex offender background checks.
To run a short-term rental in Goodyear, you must get a $250 annual city permit and a state tax license (TPT). You are required to notify your immediate neighbors about the rental and ensure an emergency contact can arrive at the property within one hour if called by authorities. You must also ensure all guests are screened against sex offender registries, though using platforms like Airbnb usually covers this requirement.
