Central Regulations
Safford explicitly allows STRs citywide under Ordinance O23-010 with no meaningful caps, maintaining a clear and supportive legal framework. While requiring standard business licensing, tax compliance, emergency response protocols, and background checks, the process is streamlined with 7-day processing and fee caps at $250 per state law. Enforcement through escalating penalties and 3-strike revocation creates predictable compliance requirements that are manageable for investors.
