Securing a Non-commercial Short Term Rental (NSTR) Permit
- Trying to cut through the red tape?
The legal requirements for operating and expanding your short-term rental business can vary depending on factors such as property type, location, and operational history. We guide short-term rental entrepreneurs through the permitting and approval process while addressing strategic considerations and other issues that may arise during the operation and growth of your business. This is also a great option if you are considering purchasing a property with the goal of making it a short term rental investment and want to do your due diligence before investing.
- Applying for a NSTR permit in New Orleans? Now is the time to act. After months of uncertainty brought on by litigation, the City is once again issuing permits and enforcing the new NSTR ordinances. Let us guide you through the application process and put you in the best possible standing to get your permit. The Stow Firm offers full service NSTR application packages for a flat fee, or hourly rates for consultation questions. Due to the new cap on number of NSTRs per square block, it is in your best interest to secure your permit as soon as possible (before there is more competition in your area).

- Navigating the NSTR exception process?
In response to the new density regulations for NSTRs, the City has allowed for a limited number of additional permits per square block to be awarded through an exception process. If you faced competition for a permit on your square block and
lost the August 2023 lottery, now is the time to begin the exception process to obtain a permit. Only up to two additional permits will be awarded per square block, so it is very important to promptly begin the exception process before all of the permits for your area are awarded.

you through the NSTR exception process, or
