How to Register Your Rental Property in Phoenix

Phoenix requires property owners to register their rental property as part of the Phoenix Rental Registration and Inspection Program. This program is designed to ensure that rental properties in the city meet basic health and safety standards as well as to provide a mechanism for addressing complaints about rental properties. Property owners must register their properties with the city every two years and provide contact information for themselves and their tenants.

To complete the rental registration process in Phoenix, you will need to follow these steps:

STEP (1)

Gather the necessary documents. You will need to provide the city with information about your rental property, including the address, the number of units, and the names and contact information of your tenants. You will also need proof of property ownership, such as a copy of your deed or mortgage.

STEP (2)

Complete the rental registration application: You can obtain a rental registration application from the city’s Neighborhood Services Department or download it from the city’s website. You must fill out the application and provide all the required information.

STEP (3)

Submit the application and documents. Once you have completed the rental registration application and gathered all the necessary documents, you can submit them to the city in person or by mail. You will need to pay a fee to register your rental property.

STEP (4)

Wait for approval. After you submit your application and documents, the city will review them and determine whether your rental property meets the necessary health and safety standards. If it does, you will be approved for rental registration. If not, you will need to make any necessary repairs or improvements before approval.

STEP (5)

Renew your registration. You will need to renew your rental registration every two years. The city will send you a renewal notice before your registration expires. After that, you must submit a new application and pay a renewal fee to keep your registration active.
