Are you a resident or business owner in San Tan Valley?

We are often asked if it really matters whether you list San Tan Valley as your address, vs Queen Creek or Florence, and we always respond with this: "If you are not in the Town of Queen Creek or the Town of Florence boundaries, then yes, listing your address as San Tan Valley is the right address to use." Not only does correctly listing San Tan Valley as your address help unite our community, but it also saves you money. Misidentifying as Queen Creek can lead to additional taxes and fees, making it an expensive mistake.

For example, Queen Creek has a higher sales tax, property tax, commercial and residential rental tax, and construction tax. They have additional business licenses and fees and now they have a new Short-Term Rental Business License Program that requires short-term rental operators to maintain an annual license issued by the Town Clerk's office. The fee for a new license is $60, with renewals costing $40 annually. Licenses run from Jan. 1 through Dec. 31, and the application and fee are per property.

While this new program is important for short-term rental operators in Queen Creek to comply with the law, it doesn't apply to San Tan Valley residents and businesses.
