Coconino County considers ordinance for regulating short-term rentals

Coconino County officials are considering new regulations for short-term rentals. The county’s Board of Supervisors met this week to discuss a proposed ordinance, which would – among other things – require rental operators to obtain a permit or license.

Patrice Horstman is the chair of the Board of Supervisors.

“We are now under this ability to be able to permit and to have some kind of oversight and notice that I think is going to help neighborhoods and help communities," she said.

Former Gov. Doug Ducey introduced legislation last year allowing cities and towns to pass ordinances regulating short-term rentals. A public hearing will be held on Feb. 28 to allow Coconino County residents to weigh in on the proposal.
