FAQ
Where does this data come from?
Three public sources, refreshed nightly: the Texas Comptroller’s hotel-tax permit list (short-term rentals register there to collect state hotel tax), the City of Austin’s short-term rental license list, and City of Austin code complaints marked as short-term-rental related. Austin Signals is not affiliated with the State of Texas or the City of Austin.
What does “no city license found on the block” mean?
The City of Austin publishes its STR licenses by block only, not exact address, so we match each rental to the licensed blocks on the same street and ZIP. “Not found” is not a violation: many of these are apartment buildings, homes outside Austin city limits that use an Austin mailing address, or a license listed under a slightly different street name.
How new is “new”?
The registered date is the date the rental started collecting state hotel tax. The state’s list can run a month or two behind, so a rental may operate before it appears here.
