STRCAS conducts independent compliance assessments and audits that give municipalities, regulators and property owners verifiable evidence of adherence to South Africa's tourism, zoning, safety and licensing frameworks.
STRCAS is industry infrastructure. Councils use it for capacity, compliance companies use it to get properties documented, and property professionals join it to earn.
A standard you cannot enforce is not a standard. Get inspection capacity without headcount — accredited, rated, and paid per job.
Book an accredited assessor to document a property so you can lodge the application. Available to every compliance company on the same published terms.
Already visiting properties? Get paid for the visit — and meet the owners who become your next listing.
Short-term rental properties across South Africa, in every province.
Separate compliance areas — zoning, electrical, gas, fire, health, licensing, insurance.
Which is exactly why the standard is currently unenforceable.
Two separate roles, two separate people, deliberately. The wall between them is what makes the sign-off worth something.
A compliance company or council books an assessor for a property.
The assessor attends, photographs, measures and collects certificates. Records what exists.
The evidence pack supports the application lodged with the council.
The council appoints an auditor — never the assessor's own firm — who verifies and signs off.
STRCAS does not issue the licence. The council does. STRCAS supplies the field capacity to document the property and the independent capacity to verify it — and never both on the same property.
Every finding cites the instrument and the clause it addresses. We maintain a live register of the framework as it changes — draft, gazetted, in force.
