An Arizona Attorney General’s Office investigation has found parts of Paradise Valley’s short-term rental ordinance violate state law.
In a March 30, written report Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich says “most of” Paradise Valley’s ordinance does not violate state law — however, specific provisions run afoul.
The investigation stems from a Feb. 28 legislator request for investigation filed by Sen. Warren Petersen, R-Gilbert.
“Based on a review of relevant authorities and materials during the limited 30-day period proscribed by A.R.S. 41-194(B), the office has determined that much of the ordinance does not violate state law. A few select provisions, however, do violate state law,” Brnovich wrote in his report.
Specifically, he says the town’s requirement for evidence of registration with the Maricopa County Assessor’s Office and evidence of a valid transaction privilege tax license is OK, however the remaining registration requirement and the booking information disclosure requirements are not permitted and do violate state law.
