Town of Killington selects STR compliance provider

The town of Killington has officially contracted with LODGINGRevs for short-term rental compliance, according to a news release Monday, July 13.

“Short-term rentals in resort towns face their own unique needs, one of those needs being transparency with their local governments,” stated LODGINGRevs in the release. “Killington is no exception to this need.”

As short-term rentals continue to grow in Killington, so too has the need to ensure regulations are followed for the health and safety of the community, town officials have said. Thus far, compliance with existing state and local zoning regulations has been tricky for the town to regulate and enforce.

“Killington looks forward to working with LODGINGRevs. One of the reasons we picked
LODGINGRevs was because of their extensive experience working with resort communities,” said Preston Bristow, town planner.

According to its publicity, LODGINGRevs has delivered the highest levels of compliance to municipalities across the nation since 2011, with an emphasis and increased results in resort towns.

LODGINGRevs promises to enable Killington to identify all short-term rentals operating within its jurisdiction.

“The expert review team at LODGINGRevs has been able to adapt their systems to identify the short-term rental occupancy for discrepancy between the advertisement and what is listed in the description of the ad,” LODGINGRevs stated.

Killington decided on LODGINGRevs for the company’s ability to deliver high compliance rates, history of satisfied resort town clients, and minimal turnover of employees, ensuring that their account manager will be an extension of their community and invested in the success.

Founded in 2011, LODGINGRevs offers short-term rental compliance, permitting, and tax collection for towns, cities, and counties across the U.S. The company claims extensive experience in municipal finance and a passion for helping towns and their residents providing STR.

“Resort towns across the nation have seen an evolution of their tourism markets since the sharing economy began growth. By enabling homeowners to rent out their properties as short-term rentals the towns are able to provide income to their residents as well as a more authentic stay for those who come to recreate,” the company stated.
