What to do

  1. Then pick your city

    Texas counties can’t zone, so short-term rental permits, zoning limits, and the local hotel tax come from the city your home is in. Outside city limits there’s usually no permit, but deed restrictions and HOA rules often limit rentals.Source

Plano

Plano doesn’t allow new short-term rentals in single-family neighborhoods; new ones are limited mostly to apartment complexes and some nonresidential districts. Rentals that operated before May 2023 could stay if registered. Every rental registers yearly ($300) with a floor plan, photos, a self-inspection, and $1 million insurance. Airbnb collects Plano’s 7% hotel tax.
