Short-term rentals: city license

City of Flagstaff rules, plus two layers of CC&Rs

Canyon Del Rio is inside city limits, so the City of Flagstaff's short-term rental license applies: $250 a year, an Arizona TPT license, notice to adjacent, across-the-street, and diagonal neighbors with a 24-hour emergency contact, $500,000 in liability insurance, a sex-offender registry check before each stay, required equipment, and hotel-rate sales and BBB taxes. ADUs that received a Certificate of Occupancy after September 14, 2024 require the owner to live on the property. Canyon Del Rio also has a master association and block associations, and their CC&Rs weren't published online in September 2026, so the recorded documents come first if rental income is part of the plan.

Getting around

Butler Avenue and Fourth Street, next to I-40

From The Point, Walmart on Huntington Drive is about 4 minutes away; Sam's Club about 5; Whole Foods about 6; Safeway on Cedar Avenue about 7; Sprouts, Natural Grocers, and Target about 8; Bashas' on Humphreys Street about 9. Downtown is about 2.8 miles, Flagstaff Medical Center about 3.1, NAU about 4.1, and Pulliam Airport about 7.1.


Canyon Del Rio sits at the southwest corner of Butler Avenue and Fourth Street on Flagstaff's east side, beside the I-40 Butler Avenue interchange. Capstone Homes describes it as 331 acres of ponderosa pine forest, and the plan mixes for-sale townhomes and single-family homes, a rental community, and future commercial space, with the Rio de Flag floodplain preserved as open space and the J.W. Powell Boulevard extension running through the property.

With new construction like Canyon Del Rio, we read the plat and the master plan along with the floor plan, because what gets built next door over the next few years matters as much as the house.

Over the last twelve months the MLS shows 24 closings, all built from 2024 on: 14 single-family homes between $943,310 and $1,274,724, with a median of $1,093,500 and a typical size of about 3,030 square feet, and 10 townhomes between $807,162 and $938,030, with a median of $861,355 and a typical size of about 2,380 square feet. We leave days on market out here, because on new construction it tends to track build schedules more than demand.

Ownership comes with two association layers: a master property owners association under master CC&Rs, and a block association for each section, such as Block G and Block I. One Block I listing disclosed a block fee plus separate POA dues, transfer fees for each association, and a capital improvement fee, so the closing costs deserve a line-by-line look.

What makes this neighborhood unique

Canyon Del Rio is one of the few places inside Flagstaff city limits to buy a brand-new home in the pines on the east side, with City services, I-40 at the door, and Rio de Flag open space built into the plan. It is also still being built: new neighborhoods, a road extension, and a planned temple site are all in motion. The right plan weighs the home you're buying against what's coming around it.
