- Foreclosure sales
- Most Arizona foreclosures are non-judicial trustee's sales under A.R.S. 33-801 and following, run by the trustee named in the deed of trust rather than by a county office. The trustee records the notice of sale with the Maricopa County Recorder, posts it on the property and at a Maricopa County superior court building, and holds the sale at the time and place stated in the notice: on the property, at a superior court building in the county, or at the trustee's place of business (A.R.S. 33-808).

- Phoenix City Code Section 10-195 prohibits renting or offering a short-term rental without a current city short-term rental permit. The application requires owner contact details, a 24-hour emergency contact, proof of a transaction privilege tax license, and a description of safety equipment locations, and Section 10-199 requires notice to adjacent properties.
- Arizona law (A.R.S. 33-1902) requires every residential rental owner to register the property with the Maricopa County Assessor, keep the information updated within 10 days of any change, and, if the owner lives out of state, designate an Arizona statutory agent. A rental may not be occupied until this registration is on file.
