Case Study: City of Hudson achieves stronger short-term rental compliance with Localgov

How Hudson, New York Gained Control of its Hospitality Market

The City of Hudson, New York worked with Localgov to manage its complex short-term rental and hospitality regulations. Hudson needed a better way to register and license bed-and-breakfasts and short-term rentals, collect related taxes and fees, and audit compliance after its previous provider’s portal frequently failed and didn’t provide the needed information.

Localgov implemented a flexible, concierge-style platform with hands-on customer support and auditing services tailored to Hudson’s ordinances. As a result, Hudson improved compliance oversight, saved staff time, and processed nearly $500,000 in fees from the hospitality sector since 2019. Localgov also helped the city better control its market while giving taxpayers easier access to registration and remittance support.
