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

Weatherford

Weatherford requires a short-term rental permit ($400, renewed every two years) and an inspection. Rentals are allowed in single-family zones but not on lake lots, and no more than 25% of homes on a block face. Register for the city hotel tax first; you file the 7% yourself.
