Casa Grande Mountains Regional Park offers 17 miles of trails, and the historic downtown holds more than 40 buildings on national and local registers.

Short-Term Rental Regulations
Short term rentals are permitted in Casa Grande, and a permit is required. The city’s Short-Term Rental Ordinance (No. 1397.05.06, Chapter 5.28) took effect January 1, 2025, making Casa Grande the first municipality in Pinal County to regulate STRs locally. Every operator within city limits needs an Annual Short-Term Rental Permit, regardless of how few nights they rent. The permit costs $115 and renews annually.
Before applying, operators must obtain a Transaction Privilege Tax license from the Arizona Department of Revenue and notify the Pinal County Assessor of the rental status. Operators must also notify adjacent neighbors and those diagonally across the street in writing, then submit a Neighbor Notification Attestation form to the city within seven business days. A 24 hour local emergency contact must be established and posted visibly inside the rental.
Arizona law (A.R.S. 9-500.39) preempts cities from banning STRs or restricting them by classification or use, so Casa Grande’s rules are limited to permit, contact and notification requirements. There is no maximum nights per year cap, no owner occupancy requirement and no primary residence requirement. The only owner occupancy exception applies to ADUs with certificates of occupancy issued on or after September 14, 2024. Pinal County has no separate STR permit, and county zoning applies in unincorporated areas.
The combined lodging tax rate is 13.5%. The city’s additional transient lodging tax rose from 2.0% to 5.0% effective December 1, 2022. Enforcement severity is rated moderate. Civil penalties run up to $1,000 for every 30 days after a 30 day notice, and a permit can be suspended for up to 12 months after three verified violations or one serious violation.
Market Comparison
The Phoenix metro area STR market posted September 2026 occupancy of 57.9%, an all-listings ADR of $189 and an entire home ADR of $205. Professionally managed listings reached $253 and luxury listings reached $463.
The metro’s year to date 2026 figures look stronger than the September snapshot. Occupancy averages 63.3% and ADR averages $232 across the first nine months. September is a seasonally softer month, so a single month understates the full year.
Growth is steady. Occupancy is up 3.6%, ADR is up 4.6% and revenue is up 2.1% against September 2025. In Casa Grande, the regulatory backdrop is comparatively light. The state preempts bans, there is no night cap and no owner occupancy requirement, and the cost of entry is a $115 annual permit. Combined with a typical home value of $319,278, this makes Casa Grande a lower cost entry point than many established STR destinations. Bedroom, channel and operator rollups are tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for Casa Grande, so this profile omits them.
