Regulation of STRs in unincorporated Coconino County is primarily handled at the state level. The county does not require a local permit, but operators must obtain a Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) license from the Arizona Department of Revenue and ensure state and county taxes are remitted. Homeowner Association (HOA) rules can prohibit STRs and supersede the county's allowance.
To host an Airbnb in unincorporated Coconino County, you don't need a permit from the county itself, which makes it simpler than in nearby cities. Your main legal requirement is to get a Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) license from the state's Department of Revenue before you start renting. You must ensure a total tax of 8.5% is paid on your rental income, though platforms like Airbnb usually handle this for you. Most importantly, check your HOA rules first, as they can legally prohibit you from renting out your property.
