Dubbed "Surf City, USA" for its beautiful stretch of sandy beach that boasts ideal surfing conditions year-round, Huntington Beach continues to rank as one of Southern California's most desirable destinations. The increase in popularity of STRs seen throughout the country can be keenly felt in Huntington Beach, where hundreds of STRs currently operate within City limits.

Earlier this year, Huntington Beach City Council passed Ordinance 4224, designed to regulate STRs by requiring operators to obtain a short-term rental permit. As with many municipalities across the U.S., the community's primary concerns around STRs include preserving neighborhood character, and managing complaints regarding issues such as noise, trash and parking.

To support the City's efforts to manage STRs effectively, LODGINGRevs will identity and monitor STRs operating within the City, as well as provide access to a 24/7 bilingual hotline where local residents can submit STR-related complaints. LODGINGRevs will also provide the City with an online Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) remittance and reporting system to streamline collection of the 10% TOT due for all STR bookings.

In recent months, the City has worked closely with LODGINGRevs' RFP & Community Partnership Manager, Daniel Watts, who has been an invaluable resource to many communities working to address similar concerns. "Our team is genuinely thrilled to begin this new partnership with Huntington Beach," Watts shared. "Over the last 10 years, our company has gained a comprehensive understanding of the industry. We always welcome the opportunity to collaborate with communities, share our knowledge and be part of the long-term solution."
