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.
Score: 8 (restrictive)
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.
