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.

CENTREVILLE, VA. (PRWEB) – Avenu Insights & Analytics announces the nationwide launch of a complete short-term rental (STR) solution for local governments that supports lodging tax collection, licensing and code compliance.
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.”
