    Texas counties can’t zone, so rental rules come from the city your home is in. Outside city limits there’s usually no permit, but deed restrictions and HOA rules may limit rentals. Pick your city.Source

Amarillo

Amarillo doesn’t license short-term rentals, but it taxes them: register with the city each year and file 7% city plus 2% venue district hotel tax monthly through Localgov. Airbnb doesn’t collect the local taxes.
