STR Permit
The local licence to operate a specific property as a short-term rental.
Why you care
Some jurisdictions cap the number. Some run waitlists. Some require a local responsible party, a life-safety inspection, off-street parking, or a neighbour notification period.
Worked example
Call the permitting office during your due diligence window with the parcel ID. Not the listing agent, not the seller, not a Facebook group.
