Cities and states rewrite short-term-rental rules every week. STR Beacon watches every legislature and council agenda in your markets — and warns you in plain English, before the vote.
Free national digest, every week. No spam, one-click unsubscribe. Written by AI, reviewed by a human — and we tell you which is which.
Three steps, no dashboards to learn. It arrives in your inbox.
Every state bill and council agenda item touching short-term rentals — scanned continuously, including the 200-page PDFs nobody reads.
Each change becomes two plain-English sentences: what it does, and what you should do about it. Every alert links to the primary source document.
Public-comment windows, grandfathering deadlines, permit caps — you hear while there's still time to respond, not after the vote.
Market-specific, source-linked, deadline-flagged.
Council agenda item 42 (meets 14 Jul): first reading 24 Jul — public comment open now. What it means: existing permits likely grandfathered; new investor purchases in zones 3–5 at risk.

AI does the monitoring, reading and first drafts — that's what makes the price possible. A human reviews and approves everything before it reaches you. We disclose this because you deserve to know, and because it's the law in a growing number of places.
