Owner help

Local information for Gilbert

Ask which ownership documents apply

Gilbert requires a Town license for short-term rentals. Its application distinguishes a portion of a primary residence from other properties when requesting county rental registration and proof of ownership.

Ask your manager: Can you tell me which documents the Town asks for in my situation and who will submit them?

Keep Town licensing and state tax separate

Gilbert’s FAQ says a Town license is still required when you use a booking marketplace. Arizona’s lodging tax guidance distinguishes marketplace bookings from direct bookings.

Ask your manager: Will the owner statement separate platform and direct bookings and say who handles the tax filings?
