To host an Airbnb in unincorporated Kendall County, you do not need a special permit or license from the county government. However, you are legally required to collect a 7% local tax from your guests and send it to the County Auditor every three months. You must also collect a 6% state tax and pay that to the Texas Comptroller. Always check your property's deed restrictions or HOA rules, as these are often stricter than the county's rules.
