## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to verify STR licensing compliance specifically for Austin, Texas properties. It pulls from live Austin city open data, making it ideal for real-time host compliance checks, property due diligence before purchase, or portfolio audits by property managers. Prefer this over general property lookup tools when the question is specifically about Austin STR licensing status.

- No STR license on record — property is unlicensed or license has expired
