Dallas

Dallas currently requires short-term rental registration and a 7% local Hotel Occupancy Tax. While the city passed a strict ordinance in 2023 that would have banned STRs in single-family residential zones, a June 2024 court injunction has temporarily blocked the city from enforcing those zoning restrictions and certain operational rules.

To host an Airbnb in Dallas, you must register your property with the city and pay an annual $100 fee. You are also required to register for the Hotel Occupancy Tax (HOT) and ensure the 7% city tax is paid on all stays under 30 days. Currently, a major court ruling has stopped the city from banning STRs in single-family neighborhoods, meaning you can generally host in most residential areas for now, but you still must follow basic noise and trash rules.
