HostReady is now on OwnerRez: automated STR compliance for property managers

Short-term rental compliance is one of the hardest parts of running a portfolio in OwnerRez. Rules change city by city, licenses lapse without warning, and the first sign that something changed is often a fine. HostReady is now integrated with OwnerRez, so property managers can automate the entire compliance layer without typing an address twice.

What the OwnerRez compliance integration does

Authorize HostReady once from your OwnerRez account and your properties, addresses, and owner records sync automatically. OwnerRez webhooks stream changes in real time, so a property you add, edit, or remove in OwnerRez is reflected in HostReady within seconds. On top of that synced portfolio, HostReady builds a verified, always-current compliance layer:

• License tracking and renewals with 60, 30, and 7 day expiration reminders, so a permit never lapses mid-booking.
• Zoning, tax, and occupancy rules mapped to each property's exact jurisdiction.
• Daily regulation monitoring that watches ordinance changes, council agendas, and enforcement actions in every market you operate in.
• A source-linked compliance certificate you can share with owners, HOAs, insurers, or a city auditor.

Why STR compliance is hard for OwnerRez managers

A short-term rental license is not a one-time task. Cities add primary-residence rules, cap permits, change tax rates, and step up enforcement, often with little notice. When you manage properties across several jurisdictions, keeping every license current and every rule tracked by hand does not scale. HostReady turns that manual, reactive work into an automated, monitored layer that sits directly on top of the portfolio you already run in OwnerRez.

How to connect OwnerRez to HostReady

1. Open the Apps screen in your OwnerRez account and authorize HostReady.
2. Your properties, addresses, and owner records sync in automatically. No spreadsheets, no re-typing.
3. Each property gets a jurisdiction-specific compliance checklist, a risk view, and a shareable certificate.
4. HostReady monitors every market you operate in and alerts you before rules change, not after fines land.

What HostReady reads from OwnerRez

HostReady reads property records (address, location, owner) and the webhooks that fire when those records change. It does not read guest contact data, payments, or messaging, and you can revoke access from inside OwnerRez at any time. Every compliance fact in your dashboard links to the government source it came from, so the data is defensible if you are ever audited.

Done-for-you license filing

Beyond monitoring, HostReady can prepare and file STR licenses and renewals on your behalf, and refile when a city changes its rules. We handle the paperwork end to end; you only step in to sign where the law requires it. It is the difference between knowing a renewal is due and having it handled.
