I don’t think Jennifer said a thing about breaking the law is something everyone should believe in or avoiding taxes. Did you read what was written at all? Your response makes no sense to the argument on short term rental behavior.

@Guy: Your point being? Apparently you aren’t aware short term rentals are governed by local jurisdiction. City of Sedona has a law against it as does Yavapai County. Now possibly Prescott as an incorporated city allows vacation rentals. I’m surprised with your “facts” you didn’t check into that. (If the truth were known you probably did.) Therefore, if a total of 6,742 short terms rentals exist in the State of Arizona that certainly leaves a huge option of locations for those seeking that type of business from which to choose. In the meantime, have the courtesy to uphold local laws and as another suggestion quit dragging up old news to deflect from important current events. Surprise. As if no one else could figure thakt out. Goodby.

There are currently 94 vacation rentals in Prescott and 6,742 in the state. How are they allowed to exist?

So who are you, Jennifer? Just another shill for the C of Commerce who takes pleasure in scheming ways to avoid city and county taxes? Shame on the likes of you and your cheating pals.

OMG! for some reason Jennifer Edwards seems to believe Breaking The Law is just the thing we should all believe in! Ain’t no way Jennifer.

Basic rules of renting: long term rentals don’t pay as much as short vacation folks but have a more vested interested (usually) and stay for 6 to 12 months or more so you don’t have to pay bed and sales tax’s to City (yet somehow I seriously doubt you are doing that on your vacation rentals? ) : and short term rentals are not vested in Sedona for more than a couple days at least. Is this really that tough a concept and when it’s combined with illegal vs legal renting’s……….argument over!

So what your are saying is that only short term renters gawk at properties, have dogs running loose and pooping all over, are noisy with cars coming and goig, and parties? But if you rent for 30 days none of that occurs? No homeowners do any of those things either? Or vacationers staying at hotels or timeshares?

I have bee a landlord to short and long term renters and the short term renters are by far the most respectful of homes and neighbors, especially the kind of renter that enjoys a vacation in Sedona. Which homes do you think would raise the value of all the neighbors’ homes? A tired long term rental or a well cared for short term rental?

hi there mr. dennis and unsure what you’re reading? definitely a City of Sedona case in the papers where it says City of Sedona (appellate)? That man was brought to court and appeals are heard by higher courts not the city. Can’t speak for the county though. we have seen renters in my neighborhood that come up for weekends but as long as they are well-mannered and don’t act up or be noisy with cars coming and going or parties we don’t complain. we will if it gets to be an issue.

A few years ago when we lived in Cup of Gold (outside incorporated Sedona) there was a vacation rental and Yavapai County put a stop to it very quickly. So, laws are enforceable at least in Yavapap County.

Hey, Alfred, your theory is alive and well. All I suggest to you is to have your neighborhood invaded with strange walkers gawking at your property, dogs running loose and pooping all over, and other distractions such as weekend brawls necessitating calling the police, on a short-term but ongoing basis. Most of us purchase homes zoned “single family residential” for the reason we didn’t want to live in an environment not quite equal to a motel-row such as Grand Avenue in Phoenix. That is why Sedona has had a restrictive law since prior to 1995.
