Maricopa stopped issuing business licenses in 2019 — the only line that still costs you money is day 30

Maricopa is unusually light on licensing and unusually specific on tax. Since 1 January 2019 the City has not required or issued business licenses at all, except for seven regulated categories — auctioneers, pawnbrokers, scrap and second-hand dealers, tobacco retail, massage, tattoo and body piercing, and after-hours establishments. A long-term residential landlord is on none of those lists. The real line sits at 30 days.

Ordinance 25-06, passed 6 May 2025 and effective 1 October 2025, raised Maricopa’s general transaction privilege tax rate by half a point to 2.50% but deliberately excluded hotels and additional transient lodging. Maricopa’s transient lodging rate therefore stays at 2.00% (class 044) plus a 5.50% additional hotel/motel tax (class 144) — 7.50% of city tax on a stay of under 30 days. Rent the same house for 30 or more consecutive days and there is no city tax at all, because A.R.S. 42-6004(H) removed municipal TPT on residential rentals from 1 January 2025.

Arizona's five-day, ten-day and twenty-four-hour clocks — and the repair your tenant can make without you

Arizona’s eviction and repair clocks are short and unforgiving of sloppy paperwork. Under A.R.S. 33-1368, nonpayment of rent requires written notice and the tenant must fail to pay within five days before you can terminate and file a special detainer. A material noncompliance affecting health and safety requires written notice that the agreement terminates on a date not less than five days after receipt.

A second noncompliance of the same or a similar nature lets you file ten days after written notice saying so, and a material and irreparable breach supports immediate termination. Running the other way, A.R.S. 33-1363 lets your tenant give written notice, wait ten days — less in an emergency — then have a licensed contractor do the work and deduct the actual, reasonable cost from rent, capped at $300 or one-half of one month’s rent, whichever is greater. On a $1,810 Maricopa median that is roughly $905 of self-help you authorized by not answering.

Maricopa property management questions

Do I need a business license to rent out a house in the City of Maricopa?

The City of Maricopa has not required or issued business licenses since 1 January 2019, other than for seven regulated business categories — auctioneers, pawnbrokers, scrap and second-hand dealers, tobacco retail, massage, tattoo and body piercing, and after-hours establishments. Residential landlording is not among them. You do, however, still have to register the property with the Pinal County Assessor under A.R.S. 33-1902, and update the information within ten days of any change.

What is the penalty for not registering an Arizona rental with the county?

On newly acquired property, a civil penalty of $1,000 plus an additional $100 for each month after the date of the original violation until you comply. For other violations a city or town may impose $150 per day for each day of violation. If you comply within ten days of receiving the complaint or notice, the court must dismiss without penalty. The Assessor may charge up to $10 per registration or information change.

Does the City of Maricopa tax my rental income?

Not on a long-term lease. Since 1 January 2025 A.R.S. 42-6004(H) has barred every Arizona city and town from levying transaction privilege or similar tax on residential rentals of 30 or more consecutive days. Stays of fewer than 30 days are still taxed under the transient lodging classification, and Maricopa’s rate there is 2.00% plus a 5.50% additional hotel/motel tax — 7.50% in city tax. Ordinance 25-06 raised Maricopa’s general rate to 2.50% on 1 October 2025 but expressly excluded transient lodging from that increase.

What does Ziprent charge to manage a Maricopa rental?

$199 per month, flat, per property, for full-service management — rent collection, maintenance coordination, inspections and day-to-day handling of the tenancy. Tenant placement is a separate $1,500 flat fee, paid only when a lease is signed. ZipGuarantee, at $250 per month, folds unlimited tenant placement and lease renewals into the monthly fee instead of billing them per lease. All three are flat fees rather than a percentage of rent, so what you pay does not climb every time the rent does.

“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!”

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
