From Permits To Peace Of Mind

Permitting & Compliance

Short-term rental compliance made simple, and guaranteed.

Navigating New Orleans’ short term rental (STR) regulations is notoriously complex. With permit caps, zoning restrictions, and frequent updates from City Hall, many owners feel overwhelmed or miss out on revenue due to non-compliance. 

At Book NOLA, we don’t just help you stay compliant, we lead the city in STR permitting expertise.

Our permitting support service is built into our management model, ensuring your property meets every legal requirement to operate safely and profitably in New Orleans

What We Handle

Permit Application & Renewals

We complete and file all city-required forms on your behalf, including your NSTR or CSTR permit applications and renewals.

Zoning & Eligibility Screening

Before you purchase a property, we conduct a full eligibility check to ensure your property qualifies for a permit under current law, including considerations for owner-occupancy, zoning, and occupancy limits.

Required Documentation

We coordinate with your realtor, title company, insurance carrier, and HOA (if applicable) to ensure all paperwork is accurate and submission-ready.

Timelines & Tracking

We manage deadlines and proactively file renewal applications before expiration, so your income stream is never interrupted.

Permit Guarantee

Follow our guidance, and we guarantee we’ll secure your permit if you’re purchasing a CSTR property.

Regulatory Updates

We stay on top of changing city ordinances and short-term rental regulations, ensuring your property remains compliant year-round.

Why It Matters:

New Orleans actively enforces STR rules, and unpermitted rentals risk hefty fines, delisting from OTAs, or permanent ineligibility.

We protect your property’s legal status, income potential, and future resale value.

Permit Types We Handle:

  • Non-Commercial (Residential) STR (NSTR)

  • Commercial STR (CSTR)

Get Expert Support — Not Just Software

Unlike national platforms that leave compliance up to you, Book NOLA offers hands-on, local permitting support.

We maintain direct relationships with city staff, attend regulatory hearings, and help shape the policies that affect your property’s future.

In a city where permits are gold, we make sure yours shines.
