“We had an abundance of calls for police services for domestic violence, for drug use, for trash, noise. It became a real issue in the community…and we needed a faster way to identify the short-term rentals and begin enforcement action on them.”
"We didn’t even know 400 short-term rentals existed in Henderson until we saw the map on the Host Compliance software."
"Short-term rentals are different than hotels. With hotels, you have an auditable trail. Host Compliance gives us that auditable trail. We can make sure we are collecting taxes fairly."
“The County can now put together about 30 cases a month, which is five to six times more cases than before. It’s just an operational efficiency, the volume of work Host Compliance has helped solve.”
Benefits of Host Compliance
Quickly identify all the short-term rental properties in your community. Plus, see individual rental property activity (how many nights rented and how much revenue generated for hosts), so you can effectively regulate and enforce short-term vacation rentals.
With Host Compliance, customers are able to recover more revenue from the STR market by increasing regulatory tax and permit compliance. In fact, many customers are seeing 5 - 20 times the return on investment from their STR program, without increasing employee resources.
Automate time-intensive tasks like monitoring STR platforms, collecting and consolidating admissible evidence of non-compliance, and communicating with non-compliant properties. Automatically initiate audits of operators who under-report taxes or exceed rental frequency and rental-cap regulations.
Solve Multiple Challenges In One Project
The potential increase in revenue can be five to twenty times the annual cost of the software. As the industry grows and more hosts register and they pay their fair share of taxes, permits, and fees, there will continue to increase bringing critical dollars to your community.
