Thank you as always for your attendance and support of the STR Alliance Community! Indiana Short-Term Rental meets the THIRD WEDNESDAY of every month. We are an advocacy & networking group for Indiana Short-Term Rentals. We promote Airbnb & Vacation Home Rental best practices among hosts, positive neighborhood communication, and state/city/district regulation awareness in our community. The organizers of the Indiana STR Alliance have been hosting STR meetups regularly since 2016. You may have attended one of their meetings previously at INREIA, Indy Host Open, or the Hoosier Hosting Network. This meetup is proud to continue this longstanding tradition of one of the longest tenured regular STR meetups in the Midwest. Indianapolis STR Permit Information

🏡 Short-term rentals help make Indianapolis a welcoming destination and keeping them safe is everyone's responsibility.

If you own a short-term rental, make sure it's registered with the City of Indianapolis. Failure to register may result in a Class C infraction.

Protect your property by:
✔️ Screening your guests
✔️ Being cautious of same-day or local bookings
✔️ Using security tools like doorbell cameras

If you suspect an unregistered short-term rental, contact City of Indianapolis - Department of Business and Neighborhood Services at [email protected]. In an emergency, always call 911.
