Confidential Information received by it as it protects its own confidential information. If a Party is

residual data.

SCOPE OF SERVICES, SCHEDULE, FEES
Address Identification
Timeline: Typically, 70% of STRs identified within 8-10 weeks after receipt of the County’s Parcel Data
Price: $85,017.00/yr
Process Summary:
• Short-term Rental Address Identification of the County:
o Access to the data via a 100% cloud-hosted software, internal password-protected.
o Continuously scan 70+ major vacation rental websites including Airbnb, VRBO and
Flipkey every 3-5 days utilizing some of the most cutting-edge artificial intelligence
technologies and automatically aggregates, consolidates and deduplicates listings
o Leverage support of ~200+ human analysts to then verify addresses and homeowner
contact information
o Identifications are validated by a minimum of 3 human-verified data points to ensure
accuracy and easily accessible directly from the platform. Providing the rationale and
evidence is critical if there is ever a dispute with a homeowner over the availability of
his/her property for vacation rental.
o Consistently evaluate the list of STR listing websites to monitor, based on popularity of
sites, niche markets, or County interest.
o Daily monitoring/updates of listing activity (over 150 data points are continuously
acquired)
o Online portal offers dashboards and reporting “on demand” with the database containing
sortable records (150+ data points), enabling staff to search, enter information, correct,
append with additional information, as well as use the data for outreach, monitoring and
compliance purposes.
o Identified properties will include:
parcel number
address
contact information and address for property owners
inventory of listing information
• listing URL
• reviews
• property type
• room type
• maximum advertised occupancy
• number of bedrooms and bathrooms
• rental rate
• minimum night stay
• listing status
• cleaning fees
• timeline of activity including stays
Docusign Envelope ID: 916F7B30-DF08-49BF-AEB5-53C33031EDD4

• removed/reposted listings (Capturing even those trying to stay off your
radar)
o Full length/date-time stamped high-resolution screenshots of listings
captured regularly of each active listing (including reviews)
include everything related to the listings, including photos, maps, reviews, and
descriptive information
each screenshot is captured on a random time and day to eliminate the risk of
non-compliant short-term rental operators “gaming the system”
available to print or download
retained indefinitely (while contract remains active)
o All available listing and contact information for non-identifiable STRs.
o Continuous scans of websites and registration records, to automatically classify all short-
term rental units and listings into “active” and “inactive” based on the then current online
availability of ads for each unit. Our system will provide easy-to-understand real-time
reporting on new and removed listings and short-term rental units to make it easy for staff
to quickly identify and generate lists of:
Newly listed compliant and non-compliant short-term rentals
Short-term rentals that have eliminated all advertising on all the websites
monitored by Host Compliance
Re-listings of non-compliant properties
Short-term rentals that have become compliant because of outreach
Short-term rentals that are still listed despite initial or repeated outreach
o County staff will easily be able to identify rental properties operating in noncompliance
and categorize them by type:
Local zoning regulations (exempt, permitted, grandfathered, illegal, etc.)
Requirements to list license/permit numbers on all advertisements
Minimum and maximum rental stay requirements
Permitted occupancy limits
Listings of other rentals offered by host
Nightly Rental Rate
Total number of ads per platform
Other local rules which can be effectively enforced by scanning online ads
o To streamline workflows and reporting process, Host Compliance has many standard
reports and in case additional custom reports are needed, we can create those at no
additional cost for staff to access and run them through our platform.
o For concerns about confidential information, reports can be generated with certain
specific identifying fields excluded, e.g., host last name.
o Users receive monthly emailed reports of high-level dashboard metrics.
o All information is available 24/7 online on desktop and mobile devices and can be
download in jpg, png, pdf, Excel, or other standard file formats if desired.
o Identify non-compliance from a customizable keyword search of reviews (i.e. wedding,
party, unsafe)
