GovOS, a leading provider of digital transformation solutions for local governments, announced today it is partnering with the Vermont Short-Term Rental Alliance (VTSTRA), a nonprofit business association for vacation rental owners and short-term rental (STR) hosts operating in Vermont. The partnership will support both organizations in their ongoing efforts to encourage responsible renting through expanded access to resources and software solutions that promote healthy STR communities.
“The VTSTRA is dedicated to helping make vacation rentals a responsibly-operated and reasonably-regulated part of Vermont’s culture, economy, and way of life,” said Julie Marks, Founder, Director, and Board President of the VTSTRA. “GovOS has extensive experience helping local governments improve engagement with STR communities in their jurisdiction. That experience combined with our own expertise and educational resources will help us build a stronger, more sustainable lodging ecosystem throughout Vermont.”
VTSTRA’s mission is to establish standards that protect the well-being of Vermont’s STR hosts, guests, neighbors, and communities, while also supporting policies that incentivize smart growth development to correct the deficiency in the state’s housing supply. The VTSTRA advocates for the use of STR registration systems to help ensure operators are aware of and adhere to legislation at the state and local levels.
“GovOS is aligned with VTSTRA’s desire to support STR hosts and the communities in which they operate,” said Kevin Lafeber, President, GovOS. “From its inception, GovOS has taken a holistic approach to offering solutions that have a positive impact. By supporting local governments and the communities they serve, we have fundamental insight into what citizens, businesses, and government agencies need to achieve their goals. Our companies’ shared interest in advocating for more awareness, understanding, and cooperation is what makes this partnership so valuable.”
