Check STR permit requirements

Pick a covered city to see the first-pass permit status, agency, and next step. No account required.

Free first

It works like a checker, then a filing workspace

Start with a fast city answer: what does this city expect before you advertise? Then decide whether you need the next step organized into a practical operating packet.

01

Run the free city check

Pick a covered city and get the current public permit posture, agency, official source, and first next step.

02

Read the free city report

Use the city page for source links, cost notes, renewal notes, tax notes, zoning notes, documents, and risk notes.

03

Add the filing pack only if useful

If the city looks relevant, choose the operational pack to turn the free research into a saveable filing checklist and PDF.

Buyer fit

Built for hosts who need an operating packet, not a legal opinion

This keeps the offer honest and helps the right buyer self-select. The pack organizes city-specific filing work, but the host still confirms the official source and files with the right agency.

Good fit

  • You are about to list, renew, or buy a short-term rental in a covered city.
  • You want a city-specific checklist instead of scattered bookmarks and screenshots.
  • You need a PDF packet for an owner, co-host, property manager, or operations folder.
  • You want tax, renewal, listing, guest-rule, and complaint-record reminders in one place.

Not the right fit

  • You need AppsVerified to file the permit for you.
  • You need legal, tax, zoning, accounting, or insurance advice.
  • Your city is not covered yet or the official source is not clear enough to publish.
  • You want a guarantee that the city will approve a permit or registration.
Important: AppsVerified provides source-backed planning information, not legal advice, not tax advice, not a permit filing service, and not a guarantee that a city will approve a rental. The final authority is the city, county, state, or tax agency named in the official source.
