How we build these guides
Sourcing
Adapters pull primary data from the FAA, IRS, OpenStates, DSIRE, NORML, PubMed, Census/BLS/FRED, Google Civic, and Data.gov.
Generation pipeline
Multi-stage AI pipeline: structural outline → long-form draft → cross-family fact-check editor → readability polish → FAQ enrichment. Each stage uses a different model family so factual drift is caught before publish.
Quality gates
Soft gates on word count, citation count, and banned-phrase screening; hard blocks if required sections are missing.
Verification cadence
Pages are re-verified quarterly. verified_at updates on every pass.
Not legal advice. Consult an attorney or CPA for binding guidance.
Short-term rental rules are mostly local, but state-level preemption is reshaping the map — some states block city bans, others enable them. Hosts face a stack of registration, occupancy tax, safety, and zoning rules that change by jurisdiction.
