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. Near Lake Amistad

    If your home is near the Amistad National Recreation Area, ask the county whether its Amistad-area zoning rules limit rentals at your address. Check your deed restrictions too.Source
