Lake Powell does not appear in our data as having its own STR ordinance, so your operation is governed primarily by Arizona state law. Under SB 1350 (2016), as amended by SB 1168 (2022), Arizona prohibits cities from banning STRs outright or capping permits, but cities may require a license, address nuisance issues, and set health and safety standards. You are responsible for collecting and remitting the state Transaction Privilege Tax at 5.5%. Because city-level rules can still exist for licensing and nuisance, contact Lake Powell's local authority directly to confirm any specific requirements that apply to your property.
