Residential Rental


Residential Rental

General Overview

Effective January 1, 2025, residential rental property owners are no longer required to report, collect, or remit any city transaction privilege tax (TPT) on the income derived from long-term lodging stays of 30 days or more to the Arizona Department of Revenue.  There is no state or county TPT imposed on residential rentals and this change to the tax law eliminated the city TPT. While owners of residential rental property will no longer have a city TPT obligation beginning January 1, 2025, the property owner must still register the property with the county assessor to comply with landlord tenant laws or other compliance requirements from government entities.

Please note that owners of residential rental property, hotels, motels, or other transient lodging businesses that book stays for fewer than 30 days must still collect and remit TPT under the transient lodging or hotel classification.

Residential Rental Income Received in Tax Periods Prior to January 1, 2025

The Arizona Department of Revenue collects city sales tax on behalf of all cities and towns within the state. Owners of residential rental property must still comply with filing and payment requirements for taxable income from tax periods prior to January 1, 2025, and such periods remain subject to audit as allowed by statute.

Taxes reported for the City of Glendale must be on a separate line of the state return with a City Jurisdiction Code of GE for the City of Glendale. The business code for residential rental on the state return is 045.
