Case Study: Town of Mount Pleasant increases short-term rental compliance and tax revenue with Deckard Technologies

The Town of Mount Pleasant Identified 484 Short Term Rental properties

The Town of Mount Pleasant faced a significant challenge in regulating its short-term rental market. The community was losing tax revenue and struggling with compliance as many property operators failed to obtain the required permits and business licenses. Their previous software platform was inadequate, only identifying non-compliant rentals if a review was left on a limited number of websites. To address this, they turned to vendor Deckard Technologies for a solution.

Deckard implemented its GovTech platform, which provided a complete data picture of the entire municipality. The solution revealed detailed rental information from every rental site, including permit status, booking dates, and rental amounts. This allowed the Town of Mount Pleasant to identify 484 non-compliant properties. As a result, the town dramatically increased compliance and tax remittance while significantly reducing the workload and stress for its staff.
