Short-term rentals (STRs), commonly known as vacation rentals, are legal in Pinal County, Arizona, but are subject to specific regulations. Property owners must obtain a Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) license and check zoning restrictions through the Pinal County Planning Division, as STRs are permitted only in certain zones. While properties like cabins and casitas in rural settings thrive, urban rentals in areas like Casa Grande are also popular. The market caters primarily to tourists, especially those visiting attractions such as state parks and outdoor recreational areas, but local business travelers also contribute. Pinal County's short-term rental environment is relatively lenient, lacking stringent enforcement of regulations compared to neighboring regions, although there are discussions about potential regulatory changes in the future. The Pinal County Assessor's Office and the Community Development Department oversee regulatory compliance.
