What to do

  1. Then pick your city

    Texas counties can’t zone, so rental permits and the city hotel tax are set by each city. Pick your city, or the unincorporated page if there is one for your area.Source

  2. Kilgore

    Kilgore reported a 7% city hotel tax for 2025 that Airbnb doesn’t collect; register with the city. We didn’t check its code for rental rules.Source
