Ziprent handles leasing, tenant screening, rent collection, maintenance coordination and statutory deposit accounting for Buckeye owners — one flat monthly fee per property.
Buckeye still publishes a Residential Rental Properties page under Business Licenses, and it still runs a transaction privilege tax at a standard city rate of 3.0% imposed on the business — with a 1.1% rate applying to the entire single item where a large-ticket item exceeds $4,999.99. What changed underneath it is state law.
A.R.S. 42-6004(H), enacted by Laws 2023, Chapter 204, provides that from 1 January 2025 no Arizona city, town or other taxing jurisdiction may levy a transaction privilege, sales, gross receipts, use, franchise or similar tax on the rental of residential property let for 30 or more consecutive days for residential purposes. The Department of Revenue confirms a TPT license is no longer required for residential rental, that pre-2025 periods remain auditable, and that stays of fewer than 30 days stay taxable as transient lodging. County assessor registration is unaffected.
Buckeye owners watching rent-stabilization fights elsewhere sometimes ask whether the city could cap increases here. It cannot. A.R.S. 33-1329 states that “the power to control rents on private residential property is preempted by the state,” and that “cities, including charter cities, or towns shall not have the power to control rents.” That preemption is near-total for privately owned stock; the statute carves out only residential property owned, financed, insured or subsidized by a state agency, a city (including a charter city) or a town.
Arizona also imposes no statewide cap on the size of an increase and no statutory frequency limit of the kind Colorado and Oregon use. What that leaves is a market discipline rather than a legal one: in a Buckeye market flat year over year, the number you can actually ask is set by the competing new-build inventory in Verrado and Tartesso, not by an ordinance.
| Area | Typical rental stock | What owners ask about there |
|---|---|---|
| Verrado | Master-planned detached homes, casitas, some townhomes | HOA leasing caps and minimum lease terms |
| Festival Ranch / Sun City Festival | Age-restricted detached homes | Age-restriction verification during tenant screening |
| Sundance | 2000s tract homes near the golf course | Rent positioning against a wave of new-build competition |
| Tartesso | Newer detached homes on the far west side | Commute-driven demand and time-to-lease |
| Blue Horizons / Rancho Vista | Mid-2000s family homes | Pool maintenance responsibility and summer utility splits |
| Historic downtown Buckeye | Older bungalows, small multifamily, converted units | Whether the city still taxes long-term rent, and assessor registration |

Tenants and Owners Love Us
With the reviews to back it up as well 😎
“Extremely well-organized, professional, and efficient!!! […] Ziprent was able to do this with ease and in a very straight-forward way. I believe the best part about this company is how it is structured with several teams handling different aspects of the management (i.e. onboarding, repairs, leasing, etc), which made the whole process seamless. That in addition to also being affordable with flat-rate pricing makes this property management company best-in-class.If you’re looking for a property manager, Ziprent comes highly recommended!”

Buckeye FAQ
You got questions? We've got answers.
Our current average time is 14-21 days but depending on price and location it can be anywhere between 3-20 days in general.
Tenants will submit their request via their online account. Our platform will automatically send out bid requests from our extensive vendor network. We will surface the bid to you for your approval and then coordinate with the vendor and tenant to get the issue resolved.
To date we have done on-demand without any major issues. We carry an additional $50k in liability insurance to cover any damages, beyond your coverage, that may occur. Should a key go missing, we will have the locks rekeyed at our cost.
Depends on the location of the property. But at the very least, it needs to be free of clutter and trash, it needs to have been professionally cleaned or cleaned to that quality. Flooring and paint go a long way in making a rental feel refreshed.
We can usually schedule to come out to take photos, do a walk-through and take keys within 24-48 hours. We prefer to take photos when the property is completely empty and move-in ready and can generally get a listing online within 24-48 hours of taking photos.
IOur property management contract can be used for both tenant placement and property management. Our property management fee is tied together with rent collection, so if we aren’t collecting rent through our platform then we aren’t charging our property management fee.
