The city teamed up with booking platforms to require registration numbers for listings booked under 30 days, aiming to track how these rentals impact housing and the local economy. Assembly Member Zac Johnson highlights hotspots like Girdwood (nearly 18% of rentals) and South Addition, where data will help distinguish between casual renters and full-time operators. A grace period ends October 1st—give yourself 30 days to register or face fines up to $1,000 per violation. Best part? Registration is free on the city’s website.
