Frisco requires all short-term rentals to obtain an annual license and a local sales tax license. The town enforces a strict occupancy limit of 2 people per bedroom plus 4, capped at 10 guests, and prohibits STRs in deed-restricted housing or ADUs.
To host an Airbnb in Frisco, you must first get a town STR license which costs $250 per year. You don't have to live in the property, but you must designate a local contact person who can respond to issues within 60 minutes. Your total guest count is limited based on your bedroom count, and you can never have more than 10 people staying at once. You are also responsible for collecting and paying a combined local tax of 4.35% on top of state and county taxes.
