How are STRS permitted in Austin?
the City of Austin breaks down short term rentals into three types, permits do NOT transfer with a sale, and permits must be renewed annually
STR Type 1 permits can be issued for single family homes where the owner has a homestead exemption on the subject property. These permits are used when you live in the home, and want to rent out the entire home from time to time, OR if you only want to rent out part of the home ie. a room or guest house on the property.
STR Type 2 permits are for non-owner occupant, full-time investment use single-family homes. A federal court ruling reversed the previous limitations of the City of Austin's ordinance which essentially prohibited Type 2 permits. As of August of 2023, the City of Austin is issuing Type 2 investor permits!
STR Type 3 permits are for multifamily properties i.e. condos. There are caps on the number of STRs allowed in each condo building. If the condo is located in a residentially zoned area the maximum number of units that can have a Type 3 permit is 3% of the total units in the condo building. For condos located in commercially zoned areas, the max number of STR permits is 25% of total units.
