To host an Airbnb in the City of Dripping Springs, you don't currently need a special permit because there isn't a dedicated STR law. However, you are still required to pay the city's 7% Hotel Occupancy Tax. Keep in mind that while Airbnb might collect the state's 6% tax for you, you are responsible for making sure the city gets its portion. Always check your HOA rules, as they can still ban rentals even if the city doesn't.
