Property onboarding
Add a property with address, STRO license, TOT certificate, and business tax certificate details.
HarborPing matches your properties against City records, generates the obligations you actually need to track, and keeps each filing in a checklist-driven workflow instead of loose notes and calendar chaos.
Prefill from STRO, TOT, and business tax datasets, then confirm the right record.
Renewals, monthly remittance deadlines, and compliance tasks per property.
Email reminders before deadlines and overdue follow-ups until the task is complete.
Add a property with address, STRO license, TOT certificate, and business tax certificate details.
Each obligation includes checklist items, notes, completion state, and reminder history.
Trial access exists now, and Stripe billing is ready to be configured from environment variables.
Airbnb collects TOT on platform bookings, but that's where their compliance help ends. You're still the legally responsible operator for everything else.

Even with platform tax collection, hosts must still file monthly TOT returns with the City, renew STRO licenses every 2 years, and maintain a valid business tax certificate. Penalties for late TOT filing alone can reach 25%.
