New Orleans short-term rental regulations are complex, constantly changing, and enforcement is real. Araya Advisory keeps you compliant, so you keep your listing — and avoid fines up to $15,000.
The rules have changed four times since 2016 — and as of August 2025, Airbnb itself is pulling non-compliant listings. What was legal last year may not be legal today.
Only 1,260 of 5,710 active NOLA listings are properly permitted. The rest are exposed to fines and forced removal.
Since August 2025, Airbnb is required to remove unpermitted listings — no warning, no grace period. Hosts are being delisted overnight.
City enforcement penalties add up fast. Most hosts miss the hotel/motel tax entirely, creating years of unpaid liability.
Block-by-block density limits, lottery permits, owner-occupancy requirements — the regulations are a moving target most hosts can't track alone.
No long-term contracts required. Pick the level of support that fits your situation.
We're not a national firm or an automated app. We're a New Orleans-based accounting professional who lives in this city and knows these regulations.
James Araya lives and works in New Orleans. He understands the neighborhoods, the regulations, and the community you're hosting in.
With professional accounting experience, James brings financial precision to your compliance — not guesswork or generic advice.
NOLA STR rules change constantly. We track every update so you don't have to, and notify you the moment something affects your listing.
At $500/day in violations, our monthly retainer pays for itself the first time we prevent an audit or catch a missed filing.
