What to do

  1. Then your city

    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

  2. In south Amarillo

    If your home is in the Randall County part of Amarillo, register with Amarillo and file its 7% city and 2% venue hotel taxes monthly.Source
