Alerts when rules change
We monitor official sources continuously. When your city changes its STR rules — new fees, caps, enforcement — you get an email that says exactly what changed.

Never miss a renewal
Most STR permits renew annually, and cities don't always remind you. Add your permits and we'll nudge you 60, 30, and 7 days before expiry.
