STRWatch — Get Started

Choose your markets

Select the cities where you have properties — you'll get alerts when regulations change.

Required ~1 min

▾

Head to the Markets tab and select every city where you operate. STRWatch tracks regulation changes, enforcement actions, and permit deadlines for each market you add.

We currently monitor 30 US markets with active scraping — Nashville, Austin, Denver, NYC, LA, and more
Each market shows its data source (Legistar API, SODA API, ArcGIS, page monitoring)
Pro plan = unlimited markets, Free = 1 market

Go to Markets →

💡 Add every market where you have properties or are considering investing. You can always remove markets later — better to have too many alerts than too few.

Set up alert preferences

Choose how and when you want to be notified.

Required ~1 min

▾

Configure your notification channels and urgency thresholds. High-urgency alerts (permit deadlines under 30 days, enforcement actions) can go to SMS. Routine updates go to email.

Email alerts — all plans, daily or weekly digest
SMS alerts — Pro and Agency, for urgent deadlines only
Urgency filters — choose what qualifies as "urgent" for your portfolio

Review your compliance snapshot

See every regulation, deadline, and requirement for your properties.

Required ~2 min

▾

Once your markets are selected, STRWatch generates a compliance snapshot — a complete picture of what's required to operate legally in each market.

Active permits & licenses — what you need and where to get them
Tax obligations — city, county, and state tax rates and filing deadlines
Upcoming deadlines — renewal windows, registration dates, compliance milestones
Recent changes — ordinances passed in the last 90 days that affect your properties

📋 Pro tip: Share the PDF snapshot with your property manager or CPA. They'll need the same deadline information you do.
