Deckard Technologies Boosts Short-Term Rental Compliance in Holmes Beach by Ten Percent

In a significant advancement for short-term rental management, Holmes Beach has recorded a notable ten percent increase in compliance with local regulations, thanks to its partnership with Deckard Technologies. This increase comes as the city has modernized its oversight processes and enforcement strategies through the innovative Rentalscape platform developed by Deckard Technologies.

As of 2025, over 1,600 short-term rentals in Holmes Beach now adhere to local requirements, allowing the city to start the new year on a positive note. The city's code compliance officer, Nate Brown, emphasized how the collaboration with Deckard has streamlined the management of rental properties by minimizing the need for labor-intensive investigations. "Deckard has made managing short-term rentals far more efficient for our team," he stated. "We can gather necessary information much faster, enhancing our ability to run a more effective and accountable program."

The rise in short-term rentals has posed challenges for local governments, affecting aspects such as neighborhood quality of life, traffic congestion, waste management, noise disturbances, and overall resident satisfaction. Opposed to simply being a source of revenue, these rentals contribute to complex community dynamics, especially in a coastal area that balances the influx of visitors with the needs of full-time residents. Brown's comments about managing these exterior pressures reflect the city's commitment to finding a sustainable solution. "For a coastal community with full-time residents, having a reliable way to address these rental challenges is essential. We need to protect the quality of life our residents expect while still supporting responsible tourism."

A pivotal advantage of the Rentalscape platform is the impartiality it offers in enforcing local regulations. The system scans online rental listings to assess compliance against established local laws, ensuring a transparent process for property owners. "Deckard applies Holmes Beach's short-term rental ordinance consistently and impartially, creating a level playing field for every property owner," explained Brown. "Anyone flagged denotes non-compliance but is treated equally, thus ensuring fairness is upheld within our community."

Not just beneficial for local authorities, the system has revolutionized operational repairs within the city’s code compliance office. Compliance Clerk Allyson Kalicharan has noted an increase in productivity and efficiency thanks to Deckard's solutions. "Our work has become more manageable and efficient. Deckard provides us with the tools needed to enforce regulations consistently and keep our programs running efficiently," she remarked.

This platform isn’t just transformative for Holmes Beach; it’s being utilized by more than 400 jurisdictions across the United States. Deckard Technologies reported record achievements in 2025, aiding local governments in monitoring over 15 million short-term rental listings, achieving an impressive compliance rate of 95.3 percent, and significantly increasing tax revenues through effective regulatory identification.

Nick Del Pego, CEO of Deckard Technologies, emphasized the pressure on local governments to maintain community standards while ensuring compliance, saying, "We saw a clearer picture of these needs in 2025. Our partners are experiencing tangible gains in fairness, transparency, and revenue recovery across the nation."

The impact of Deckard’s platform extends beyond just compliance improvements in Holmes Beach. In other jurisdictions, such as Redondo Beach, California, over 1,000 unlicensed listings were addressed, and officials in Southold, New York, identified multiple properties that contravened the minimum stay rule. Similarly, Fort Myers Beach, Florida, transitioned from manual monitoring between various websites to a more centralized system, leading to more consistent enforcement efforts.

In 2025 alone, Deckard expanded its customer base by adding 120 new municipalities, including 14 in Florida and 10 in New York. The company significantly bolstered its Client Experience team to improve user support and implemented 75 enhancements to Rentalscape, such as advanced AI functionalities, a new Inspection Portal to simplify compliance tracking, and automated communication features, thus streamlining municipal processes.

Looking ahead to 2026, Deckard Technologies plans to launch enhanced automated functions and predictive modeling to assist communities in forecasting tax revenue while assessing the housing market's impacts.
