Notice Requirement

Phoenix requires the owner or owner’s designee to notify the required neighboring properties before offering the property as a short-term rental.

The city application page also requires notice to registered homeowners associations and registered neighborhood associations within the specified 600-foot area.

Who Must Be Notified

  • Adjacent single-family properties

    Include properties adjacent in the cardinal directions and properties directly or diagonally across the street.

    Required

  • Units on the same floor

    For an STR in a multifamily residential building, the city describes neighboring property as residential units on the same floor.

    Required

  • Registered homeowners associations

    Check for registered HOAs whose boundaries fall within or intersect 600 feet of the property.

    Required

  • Registered neighborhood associations

    Run the same current search for city-registered neighborhood organizations.

Certified Mail & Delivery Evidence

Phoenix directs the owner or designee to send the Notice of Intent by certified mail. Keep evidence showing that notices were delivered or that delivery attempts were made.

Use a recipient worklist so every address and organization can be matched to its mailing receipt.

Build the Proof Package

  • Copy of the Notice of Intent

    Keep the exact version sent to recipients.

    Required

  • Certified-mail receipts

    Match each receipt or delivery attempt to the recipient worklist.

    Required

  • Attestation of Compliance

    Complete the city form with the property, owner or designee, and notification information.

    Required

  • Notarization

    Sign the attestation before a notary before submitting it to the City.

    Required

  • Phoenix STR Permit Application Checklist

    Place the completed notice package into the broader permit workflow and prepare the remaining submission material.

  • Receipt and notice are different records

    The city attestation calls for mailing receipts and a copy of the Notice of Intent. Keep both in the property record.

    Warning

Check Again at Renewal

Phoenix reminds owners and managers that new HOAs or registered neighborhood associations may exist when the permit is renewed. Run a fresh organization search instead of reusing an old recipient list without review.

Before You Submit

  • Recipient coverage is complete

    Check adjacent, across-street, diagonal, same-floor, HOA, and neighborhood-association rules as applicable.

  • Every recipient has evidence

    Confirm that the worklist, notice copy, and certified-mail receipt agree.

  • The attestation is notarized

    Do not upload an unsigned or unnotarized compliance form.

Notice Errors to Correct

  • A required recipient group was missed

    Re-run the adjacent, across-street, diagonal, same-floor, HOA and neighborhood-organization tests that apply to the property; send the missing notice before attesting compliance.

  • Receipts do not match the worklist

    If an address, organization or delivery attempt cannot be tied to a certified-mail receipt, correct the worklist and mailing evidence instead of submitting an incomplete package.

  • The attestation is incomplete

    Do not submit an unsigned or unnotarized attestation, or one that refers to a different notice version or permit address.
