Paradise Valley residents can hopefully sleep better with Town Council’s latest ordinance, which was approved at a recent meeting, on the regulation of short-term rentals within the community.
After its passing of an ordinance relating to short-term rentals in January, Paradise Valley came under fire for some provisions in the ordinance that violated state law, following an investigation by the Arizona Attorney General’s Office, a town report detailed.
Since the adoption of Senate Bill 1186 earlier this year, which added provisions on short-term rental permits, town staff have worked to incorporate authorizations from it into an amended ordinance.
At the Oct. 13 Town Council meeting, Mayor Jerry Bien-Willner and council members engaged in discussion on the updated ordinance and voted to incorporate it into town code. The mayor attended virtually with Vice Mayor Anna Thomasson directing the meeting in person.
