Short-Term Rental Registration

Short-Term Rental registration is required for all short-term rentals located in residential zoning districts. Payment of Hotel Occupancy Tax is required when operating a Short-Term Rental.

The City of Marble Falls defines Short-Term Rentals (STR's) as the rental of a residential premise, or portion thereof, for lodging accommodations to occupants for a period of less than thirty (30) consecutive days.  

The purpose of the STR Ordinance (2021-O-11A) is to establish regulations for use of single-family residential dwellings as Short-Term Rentals, to minimize the negative ancillary impact on surrounding properties, and to ensure the collection and payment of Hotel Occupancy Tax.  A permit is required to operate a Short-Term Rental in the City.

If you wish to register your Short Term Rental, renew an existing Short Term Rental or pay your Hotel Occupancy Tax please email STRregistration@marblefallstx.gov.

Questions regarding Short-Term Rental qualifications, zoning, and the status of an application may be directed to the Development Services Department at 830-798-7095.   If your question is related to the payment of Hotel Occupancy Tax please contact the Finance Department at 830-693-3615.
