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 Mesa

Check for a county island before applying

A Mesa mailing address can sit on a Maricopa County island. Mesa directs owners to check the City boundary map before filing with its licensing office.

Ask your manager: Can you verify the parcel and put the correct licensing office in your launch plan?

Put the renewal on the calendar

Mesa lists a $250 license fee and a $250 annual renewal. The City tells owners to submit renewal at least 45 days before expiration and says a missed deadline requires a new application.

Ask your manager: Who tracks the 45-day deadline and makes sure the paperwork reaches the City?
