Property Guard

What Property Guard does

Property Guard, operated by ADPG LLC (Delaware LLC headquartered in Beaverton, Oregon), is a short-term rental (STR) compliance data and monitoring company. It maintains a proprietary database covering over 20,000 US states, counties, and municipalities with permit requirements, zoning restrictions, owner-occupancy rules, and enforcement stipulations (as of 12/31/23). The platform combines this regulatory dataset with Talos AI, an image-matching and listing-detection system augmented by human validation, to deliver real-time 24/7 monitoring and email alerts for unauthorized STR activity.

The company serves three verticals through dedicated product lines: Property Guard for Lending (regulatory verification for Non-QM and DSCR loan underwriters assessing STR-backed mortgages), Property Guard for Property Management (24/7 monitoring for multifamily operators and HOAs to detect unauthorized listings), and Property Guard for Municipalities (address identification and code compliance data for cities and towns). Named customers include Greystar, Worth Ross, Stream, City of Cape Coral, and Wildwood NJ, with the company claiming 100+ partners and 65-80% estimated cost savings versus the nearest competitor for municipal buyers.

Property Guard operates a subscription-based revenue model with annual billing, quote-based pricing, and multi-year contract options, collecting via Stripe, ACH, or check with auto-renewal and 30-day termination notice. Go-to-market is direct enterprise and government field sales supported by content marketing (weekly newsletter, vertical-specific landing pages). No external funding, acquisitions, or leadership changes are disclosed; the Terms of Service became effective December 1, 2022.
