For owners
HOA and city compliance
Rental registration, residential rental tax, HOA rules and violation handling, kept current without you chasing it.
HOA and city complianceOverview
Arizona rental compliance is not complicated, but it is easy to forget and expensive to get wrong. Maricopa County requires residential rental property registration. Cities have their own rules. Most HOAs require tenant registration and a copy of the lease within a set window of move-in.
We treat compliance as a standing task rather than an annual scramble. Registrations are tracked with renewal dates, HOA documents are read before a property is listed, and violation notices are actioned the day they arrive.
What is included
County rental registration
Residential rental property registration with Maricopa County, kept current and updated when ownership or contact details change.
City requirements
City-specific rental rules tracked for Phoenix, Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert and Scottsdale, since they are not the same.
Residential rental tax
Filing and remittance where the city still levies it, with the returns filed on your behalf and copies in your portal.
HOA tenant registration
Lease copy, tenant details and any required fee lodged with the association inside its stated window.
CC&R review
The governing documents read before listing, with parking, pet, paint, RV and short-term letting restrictions pulled into the listing itself.
Violation handling
Notices actioned the day they arrive, the tenant contacted where the tenant is responsible, and the association updated in writing.

HOA and city compliance: questions
The things owners ask before they sign, answered the way we would answer them on the phone.
Yes. Arizona requires owners of residential rental property to register it with the county assessor in the county where the property sits, and to keep the information current. We lodge and maintain it as part of management.
It depends on the city and it has changed in recent years, which is exactly why we track it per city rather than applying one rule. Where it applies we file and remit on your behalf and store the copies.
We action the notice the day it arrives and identify whether the cause is the tenant's or the property's. Tenant-caused fines are billed to the tenant under the lease. Property-caused ones are quoted to you for repair.
Yes, and the age restriction is applied as the association's recorded documents require, which is a recognised exemption under fair housing law. We verify the recorded restriction before advertising it.
