Strisker monitors 5,599+ cities, counties, and local government bodies across the United States.
Strisker is a local government intelligence platform. We monitor thousands of city councils, planning commissions, county boards, and government bodies across the United States — indexing meetings, documents, ordinances, and policy discussions in near real-time so professionals can understand what's changing and where.
Instead of manually tracking dozens of government websites, Strisker aggregates official sources, surfaces relevant policy activity, and delivers structured intelligence through a searchable dashboard, customizable alerts, and a structured Policy Tracker — so you spend less time monitoring and more time acting on what you find.
Strisker is built for professionals whose work is shaped by local government decisions. Common users include:
If your work depends on knowing what local governments are doing — or what they're about to do — Strisker is built for you.
You can. But local government information is fragmented across thousands of separate systems — city websites, meeting portals, document archives, social media accounts, and news sources. That's just for a single jurisdiction. Multiply that across dozens or hundreds of markets and it quickly becomes unmanageable.
Building a reliable monitoring system yourself means maintaining scrapers, tracking thousands of government portals, handling different document formats, and updating infrastructure every time those systems change.
Strisker aggregates and continuously monitors these sources so you don't have to. For teams that want to go further, Strisker also provides API access, webhooks, and integrations — so you can build your own workflows and dashboards on top of the data without building the monitoring layer from scratch.
Strisker continuously monitors a wide range of local government sources, including:
Many of these sources reveal policy changes while they're still being discussed — often weeks or months before they become law.
Strisker tracks any policy topic that moves through local government. While short-term rental regulations were the original focus, the platform now covers a broad range of local policy areas, including:
You control what you track through custom keywords, location watchlists, and topic filters — so Strisker surfaces what matters to you, regardless of industry.
Strisker aggregates information directly from official government sources — meeting agendas, minutes, ordinances, policy documents, and official social media accounts. The Policy Tracker includes "Last Verified" timestamps on every entry so you can see exactly when a policy was last confirmed.
Because local regulations often evolve through public meetings before becoming law, Strisker surfaces both current regulations and active policy discussions that may affect future rules.
Users should always verify final legal requirements with the relevant local government authority before making compliance decisions.
Strisker provides structured intelligence across several data types:
Strisker currently monitors 5,599 cities and counties across the United States, with select coverage in international markets. You can search for specific locations directly in the platform after signing up.
If a location you need isn't currently covered, contact us — we can often add monitoring for additional jurisdictions.
Most monitored sources are updated within hours of new government documents or meeting materials being published. Because local governments operate on different schedules, the exact timing of updates varies by jurisdiction.
When a new document is indexed, keyword alerts fire automatically — so you don't need to check the dashboard manually. Strisker monitors continuously in the background.
Yes. Strisker can notify you when relevant activity occurs in any location you track, including:
Alerts are delivered via email, Slack, or webhook — and fire within hours of a new document being indexed.
Your monitoring starts immediately after you set up your locations and keywords. Alerts fire within hours of a matching document being indexed — but when you receive your first alert depends on when your tracked jurisdictions publish new material.
Most monitored sources are updated within hours of publication. If a government body hasn't published anything new since you signed up, your first alert will arrive when they do.
Yes. You can create Watchlists to monitor specific cities, counties, or policy topics. You can also set custom keywords — Strisker will alert you any time those terms appear in a newly indexed document across your tracked locations.
The number of active monitored locations and custom keywords available depends on your plan — Local (25), Professional (100), Advanced (500), or Enterprise (unlimited).
The free trial gives you full access to your chosen plan — no credit card required. You'll have access to the Policy Tracker, Government Calendar, document search, keyword alerts, and all features included in your selected tier.
At the end of the trial you can subscribe to continue, or simply let it expire. No charges, no automatic enrollment.
It depends on how many markets you need to monitor and whether you're working alone or with a team:
