Short-Term Rental Regulations
Broken Arrow requires an annual STR license for all operators. Three permit tiers exist. Type 1 (owner-occupied) allows up to 2 guest bedrooms and requires the owner to reside in the home; no Specific Use Permit is needed and no neighbor notification is required. Type 2 allows up to 4 guest bedrooms but requires a Specific Use Permit from the City, is limited to R-3 zoning, and costs a base $350 with total fees averaging approximately $1,000 based on the number of nearby properties requiring notification. Type 3 covers bed and breakfasts (up to 8 rooms) and also requires a Specific Use Permit. Types 2 and 3 undergo life safety inspections.
The combined occupancy tax rate is 4.0%. Note: in January 2023, the City Council approved a 120-day moratorium on new Type 2 and Type 3 Specific Use Permit applications; post-moratorium conditions are not confirmed in available sources, so investors should verify current Type 2 permit availability before purchasing a non-primary-residence investment property. No maximum nights per year applies.
