Understanding Tucson's 2026 Short-Term Rental Lodging Tax Changes: What Every Tucson Homeowner Needs to Know

The Key Changes Effective March 1, 2026

The City of Tucson raised the transient occupancy tax for short-term rentals (non-hotel) to a flat 10% on gross receipts. The old $4 per night surtax is gone. This city tax is collected from guests and remitted separately from state and county taxes.

How It Affects Your Profits

Example: $250/night booking = $25 city tax (previously ~$19). The flat rate simplifies budgeting but requires smart pricing to protect margins.
