Austin rules

What the City of Austin asks of short-term rental owners

Austin rewrote its short-term rental code in 2025. Any stay shorter than 30 nights needs a City license, and since July 1, 2026 the City can ask booking platforms to take down listings without one. Here is what applies to an owner today.

Four license typesType 1 for owner-occupied homes, Type 2 Residential for a whole home you do not live in, Type 2 Commercial, and Type 3 for a unit in a multifamily building.
Fees and timingA new license costs $736.60 and a renewal $369.60. New single-family applications take 6 to 8 weeks.
License number in every adThe operator’s license number must appear in each listing, and platforms must now show it.
A local contactSomeone living in Travis, Williamson, Hays, Bastrop or Caldwell County who can respond within two hours.
Hotel occupancy tax11% for the City of Austin plus 6% for the State of Texas. Platforms collect the City tax since April 1, 2025, but the quarterly reports are still the owner’s.
Quiet hoursNo amplified sound audible beyond the property line between 10 p.m. and 10 a.m.

Which Austin license would your home need?

1. Is the home inside Austin city limits?

That’s why it isn’t instant, and why it’s far more accurate. When it’s ready, we schedule a call to go over the results with you.

Why we price your home, not the market

A city average cannot tell us what your Austin home can do. We start with the address you send, look at nearby homes, and consider the neighborhood setting. That gives the estimate a local frame instead of treating every Austin home as interchangeable. The address also helps us keep the discussion about the home guests would actually find and book.

We review comparable rentals by hand, including the home, its setting, and its guest-facing amenities. We look for homes that help explain the choices an owner faces in that part of Austin. The estimate follows this review rather than a broad market summary, and the reasoning can be discussed with you.

Send the property address and the number of bedrooms. On the call, we explain the comparable homes, the assumptions behind the estimate, and the listing, pricing, and setup approach for your home. You can ask how the plan fits the property and what work would be involved.

You leave with a clearer plan for the home and the next conversation to have. The estimate stays tied to the property you own and the nearby rentals we reviewed, so it gives you a practical starting point for deciding how to proceed.

Questions

Austin owners usually ask

What does One Fine BnB charge in Austin?

Partner 10% (owner has their own cleaning and maintenance team). Full Service from 20%, one-time $500 onboarding retainer. Management fees apply to rental revenue, never guest-paid cleaning fees, taxes or deposits.

Is short-term renting legal in Austin?

Yes, with a City of Austin license for any stay under 30 nights. Which of the four license types you need depends on whether you live there and what kind of building it is. Since July 1, 2026 the City can have unlicensed listings removed from booking platforms.

Who pays the hotel occupancy tax?

Guests pay it on the booking: 11% City of Austin and 6% State of Texas. Booking platforms have collected the City tax for owners since April 1, 2025, but the City still expects quarterly reports from the operator.

Who pays for cleaning between stays?

Guests do, through the cleaning fee on the booking, so turnovers cost you nothing.

Do you manage homes in San Antonio too?

Yes. We manage homes in San Antonio too, and our booking site lists them. San Antonio has its own permit: Type 1 for a home the owner or operator lives in, Type 2 for one they do not, with Type 2 allowed by right up to 12.5% of the units on a blockface. Permits are valid for three years.

How does the estimate work?

Send the address and the number of bedrooms. We look up your home, check real comparable homes by hand and account for your amenities. Then we schedule a call to go over the results with you.
