Official-source only
Every preview and paid update stays anchored to official city pages, datasets, ordinances, or guidance sources.
Official-source STR monitoring
We monitor official city STR rule changes and tell you who is affected and what to do next.
For operators in high-risk markets who cannot afford to miss quiet permit, FAQ, eligibility, or enforcement edits.
Self-serve path: start free and judge the signal yourself. Fastest operator path: use a short market brief before choosing Multi City or Team.
- Official city sources only
- Source health shown in the open
- High-priority changes ranked first
- Monitoring summaries, not legal advice
Official-source trust layer
Trust comes from visible source quality, not from asking you to guess.
Source health is visible
City previews tell you whether monitored sources are healthy, retrying, or running with official fallback coverage.
Fallback never hides the real state
If a primary source is blocked, the public pages say so and make the fallback path explicit instead of pretending coverage is perfect.
Verify against the city source
Public samples, city guides, and source checks make it easy to click back to the official page before you decide to pay.

Why operators pay
Rules don’t change loudly. But the impact can.
Missed changes hurt quietly
Most STR operators don’t lose money because of a big policy announcement.
Small edits become real work
They lose money because of small official updates they didn’t see in time.
That is where STR Radar helps
It turns quiet rule changes into clear review work before they become revenue loss or manual cleanup.
Who this is for
Start with the path that matches how many markets can create real work for you.
Multi-city operators
Best first commercial fit if several markets can change in the same week and you need one priority order.
Book a market briefSmall teams
Best when more than one person needs the same signal, shared visibility, and shared routing across cities.
See team fitSingle-city hosts
Best when one market drives your risk and you want a self-serve path into the full checklist.
See host fitIf you actively watch several cities, start with the brief or compare Multi and Team before defaulting to Single City.
How it works
From official source change to next-step guidance
1
Monitor official sources
We track permit pages, registration guidance, code supplements, and enforcement-related source pages.
2
Detect what changed
We capture the change event, classify urgency, and keep the source-backed context attached to the update.
3
Explain who is affected
Instead of raw text diff noise, you get a plain-language summary of likely impact and review priority.
4
Show the next step
Paid plans add the full checklist so you can review, monitor, or act now without rebuilding the issue yourself.
Why this beats manual tracking
Manual tracking tells you a page moved. STR Radar tells you what to do about it.
Manual tracking
- Check multiple city websites yourself
- Notice quiet FAQ or permit page edits too late
- Figure out whether the change is relevant on your own
- Rebuild next-step logic from the source every time
STR Radar
- Official-source monitoring across live STR markets
- Structured summaries instead of raw source churn
- Who-is-affected guidance and urgency labels
- Action checklists for the cities inside your scope

FAQ
Questions people ask before they subscribe
Do you only use official sources?
Yes. STR Radar is built around official city permit pages, code sources, registration guidance, and enforcement-related public pages. We do not build alerts from rumors or unofficial summaries.
What do paid plans unlock that free does not?
Free helps you judge whether the signal matters. Paid plans add full update summaries, affected-audience guidance, action checklists, faster alerts, and secure access to the cities inside your plan.
Which cities are covered right now?
Right now coverage is live for New York City, Portland, San Diego, Nashville, and New Orleans, with public previews available for every monitored market.
Is this legal advice?
No. STR Radar summarizes official public sources and helps you prioritize review work. It does not replace legal advice or city-specific counsel.
Can I start with one city and upgrade later?
Yes. You can start with Single City and later move to Multi City or Team if you need broader coverage or shared visibility.
