As you may know, Sedona has banned short term/vacation home rentals for years. They have not been alone, as many Arizona cities have done the same. However, new legislation signed into law by Governor Ducey will prohibit any city, town or county from restricting the use or regulation of vacation rentals and short term rentals. That will will go into effect on January 1, 2017. However, it does allow the city to determine regulations if they are meant to protect public health and safety, which has been the rationale behind the regulations currently in place. I will be keeping a very interested eye on how this shapes up as we get closer to the end of the year.
