Five Ways Avenu Maximizes Your Short-Term Rental Compliance

Are you experiencing a rapid growth in your Short-Term Rental (STR) community? It can be a challenge to keep up with monitoring, licensing, permitting, and overall tax collection. And non-compliant STRs also bring about neighborhood complaints, like safety, noise, trash, and parking, just to name a few.

As a local government leader, you need a comprehensive solution to help discover, identify, register, and collect all revenue from existing and unknown STRs in your community.

Avenu Insights & Analytics provides a Short-Term Rental monitoring, compliance, and Full-Service administration solution. An intuitive and easy to use software solution that evaluates your entire STR community and identifies those that are not in compliance. We help recover funds from newly discovered STRs and receive, post, and reconcile all STR filings and fee payments.

Learn the five ways Avenu helps maximize your STR compliance.

Short-Term Rental Solutions Helps Communities Increase Revenue and Efficiency

Short-term rental listings are expected to grow by nearly 21% in 2022. However, localities are finding it harder to effectively monitor and tax these properties.

The fragmented market (125+ platforms) makes it nearly impossible for government leaders to monitor and identify 100% of listings while maintaining compliance. At the same time, owners continue to skirt short-term rental occupancy taxes that go toward schools, fire departments and other important community services.

We recently spoke with the Director of Community Services, Gustavo Roman from the City of College Station, TX to discuss his approach to addressing the gap in Hotel Occupancy Tax revenue the city was experiencing.

In summary we covered some of the outcomes of their approach that included:

  • Establishing a Short-Term Rental Ordinance
  • Identifying over 400 non-licensed STR’s in first 4 months
  • Uncovering over $100K in newfound Occupancy Tax Revenue
  • Establishing a 24/7 Hotline & Portal for Citizens
  • Creation of a “level playing field” for all Hotel and STR operators

If you are interested in gaining a better understanding of what YOUR short-term rental community looks like and where it’s trending, we’d like to send you a custom dashboard comprised of data from more than 100+ STR websites.

 

 

Avenu Insights & Analytics Launches Full Scale Short-Term Rental Solution

Avenu combined its 40 years of experience in both software solutions and revenue enhancement services to develop proprietary analytic software which identifies all rentals on Home Away, Airbnb, Flip Key, Craigslist and other sites. A key differentiator for municipalities is the precision and detail that is provided of STRs, which includes the complete and exact address, full name of the owner/operator, and estimated minimum sales.

Clients will be provided a dynamic and interactive dashboard to search areas by map, instantly receive rental inventory statistics, and view the full case history of any property. The tool is also mobile enabled to simplify field investigations.

The other key area of support Avenu is offering is a 24/7 hotline and web-portal for citizens to log any noise or pollution complaints about STRs in their area. The goal of this feature is to take the burden of fielding and tracking complaints off the hands of local governments while readily providing the necessary information so action can be taken.

“As the STR market continues to evolve and grow, it has raised ever increasing challenges that impact economic development, property rights, taxation, and revenue collection for local governments,” stated Avenu CEO, Paul Colangelo. “We are proud to support local communities as they strike a healthy balance between hospitality and community.”
