Commissioners ask state for STR data access, table county purchase of discovery software

Oct 7, 2025

The tax administrator proposed a countywide contract with GovOS/NEEMO to identify short‑term rentals (STRs) operating in Moore County; after discussion commissioners directed the county attorney to seek state‑level reporting requirements and deferred the procurement.

The full story

Moore County's tax administrator requested Oct. 7 that the board approve a multi‑year service agreement with NEEMO (doing business as GovOS) to identify short‑term rental (STR) properties operating in the county by scraping online listings and returning addresses for tax discovery and listing. The requested first‑year cost was $29,403.10 (including a one‑time setup fee). The county currently lists about 240 STR properties but staff estimated substantially more properties may be operating without proper business‑personal‑property listings.
