Provider comparison

Questions to ask before signing

Give each manager the same property address, rental calendar, expected booking revenue and owner-use dates. Ask each provider to answer in writing.

  • Fees. Ask whether the fee applies to nightly revenue, gross bookings or net platform payout. Confirm how taxes, cleaning charges, discounts and refunds affect the calculation.
  • Extras. Ask who pays for listing setup, photography, cleaning, supplies, channel fees and maintenance. Confirm who handles guest emergencies and permit paperwork.
  • Contract terms. Ask about the initial term, notice and exit charges. Confirm who controls the listings, payout account and future reservations if you leave.

Use the same booking revenue and number of turnovers for both quotes. List setup costs separately from recurring charges.

Local information for Fountain Hills

Update the registration before advertising short stays

The Town lists a $250 annual permit for stays under 30 days and instructs owners to update an existing long-term rental registration before advertising shorter stays.

Ask your manager: Who updates the registration and keeps the state TPT and county records with the application?

Plan the first neighbor notice

The Town ordinance calls for written notice to specified neighboring homes before first offering a vacation rental. The notice includes the permit number and 24-hour emergency contact.

Ask your manager: Who identifies the required neighbors, sends the notice and keeps proof of delivery?
