Short-Term Rental Regulations
The City of Page requires vacation rentals and short term rentals to obtain an annual license and follow local health, safety, advertising and neighborhood notification requirements. This page provides a plain language overview of the requirements in Chapter 113 of the City Code.
License required beginning September 1, 2026
A separate City of Page vacation rental license is required for every house or rental dwelling unit used as a short-term rental. Operating without a current license may result in a fine of at least $1,000 per violation.
Grace Period: December 15, 2026
To help property owners transition to the new licensing program, the City will allow a grace period through December 15, 2026. Owners should submit their applications before this date to avoid enforcement.

24-hour emergency contact
Owners must provide a real person who can be contacted 24 hours a day and respond in person during an emergency.
Liability insurance
Each rental must have at least $500,000 in liability coverage, either through the owner or an eligible online lodging platform.
Notify nearby neighbors
Before renting the property for the first time, owners must provide written notice to nearby residential properties and all units in multifamily buildings.
