Do I need a permit to rent a Greer cabin nightly?

Apache County’s Article 24 requires a Single-Family Nightly Rental Permit for occupancy for remuneration of less than 30 days in a Residential Zone or the Greer Commercial zone. Confirm current requirements, the fee and permit availability with Community Development. Checked 2026-09-19.

Is there a limit on the number of Greer permits?

Article 24 as published caps permits in the Greer area at fifteen per cent above the number issued in the first twelve months after its adoption in 2010. Ask the County what that number is now and whether any are available.

How many guests can a Greer rental sleep?

Article 24 as published sets a maximum of two persons per dwelling plus two per bedroom, capped at twenty, and further limited by off-street parking at one space per three persons. Your advertised occupancy should match the permit, not the beds.

The short answerGreer is the highest and quietest part of the destination, and the only part where a county nightly-rental permit governs the home. It sits in Apache County near Sunrise Park Resort, which gives its own address as 200 Highway 273, Greer. The guest wants quiet and a mountain itinerary; the owner needs Apache County’s Article 24 and its own Greer zoning article before anything else.

Who books here

Winter guests heading for Sunrise, which Visit Pinetop-Lakeside describes as three mountains, seven chairs and over fifty runs and whose own site states it is owned and operated by the White Mountain Apache Tribe. In summer the resort lists lift-served downhill mountain biking, a tandem zip-line, scenic lift rides, lake fishing and camping. The surrounding Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests reach above 11,000 feet at Mount Baldy Wilderness, and the Forest Service currently posts a closure order for Benny Creek Campground and the South Fork Day Use Area on the Springerville Ranger District.

What the home has to do

Reliable heat, a cleared and lit arrival, and arrival instructions written for someone driving a mountain road in the dark. Apache County has its own Greer Community Plan, and the village sits far enough from services that guest guidance has to be specific rather than general.

The rule that applies here

Apache County Zoning Ordinance Article 24, Single-Family Nightly Rentals, adopted 7 December 2010, requires a permit before a dwelling in a Residential Zone or the Greer Commercial zone is occupied for remuneration for less than 30 days. As published it caps Greer permits at fifteen per cent above the number issued in the first twelve months after adoption, sets occupancy at two persons per dwelling plus two per bedroom to a maximum of twenty, requires one off-street parking space per three persons, weekly waste collection, an annual building inspection, a posted permit and a Local Representative within 20 miles. It predates the state statutes, so confirm current applicability and the fee with Community Development.
