     Short Term Rentals Not Allowed in Sedona

    05022011SedonaLogo11Sedona, AZ (July 25, 2011) – The City of Sedona Community Development Department continues to proactively enforce the City ordinance that prohibits the establishment and advertising of vacation rentals. The City’s ordinance prohibits the rental of single-family residences for less than 30 days. It is also illegal to advertise and facilitate the rental of a residence for less than 30 days.

    Several Internet websites illegally advertise vacation rentals within the Sedona City limits and the investigation of these websites has been the focus of the proactive enforcement. “Since January of 2010, we have investigated numerous alleged Sedona area vacation rentals and issued notices of violation to 29 property owners. Of these, 22 were brought into compliance, one is still under active investigation, three cases were found guilty in Sedona Magistrate Court and three cases are pending in Sedona Magistrate Court,” states Jim Windham, Code Enforcement Supervisor.

    “The Community Development Department intends to continue our vigorous and proactive enforcement of this ordinance and we will continue to monitor Internet websites for illegal activity. Property owners are reminded that it is a Class One misdemeanor to violate the vacation rental ordinance with penalties up to a $2,500 fine per day and/or six months in jail,” indicates John O’Brien, Community Development Director.

    For questions regarding the specific restrictions and regulations pertaining to vacation rentals, please contact Jim Windham at 928-204-7114.

      Does this article pertain to Village of Oak Creek?

      OCE condo complex currently has issues with regulating rentals as Vacationers are staying for less than 30 days. For the past 4 months, I have tracked people coming and going for as short as 1 day, 2 day, 7 day stays within a 30 day period. These stays have consisted of people leaving at 8am & then by 11am someone knew was going in with suit cases.

      Also, after bringing awareness to the Oak Creek Estados Board members this rental is still displayed on the internet today July 27th on VRBO.com (vacation rental by owner) listing# 327303.

      This is an eye sore for the complex and only brings the value of daily living here down.

        Sorry, the ordinance applies to incorporated Sedona only.

    Sedona, AZ — A cottage industry on steroids has erupted across the United States, fueled by the political firestorm around immigration and the logistical nightmare of enforcing it. President Donald Trump returned to power with the singular focus of cracking down on illegal immigration. The country is watching an old issue swell into an industrial-scale operation—an expensive, chaotic, and morally fraught machine that’s straining every gear in the federal system.
