César Chávez is an unincorporated community with a population of approximately 1,608 in Hidalgo County, Texas. Because César Chávez is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal government or city code. Instead, Hidalgo County ordinances apply directly to residential and commercial properties here. The rules below are the county-level regulations that govern your area. Nearby incorporated cities in Hidalgo County may have different rules.
Hidalgo County does NOT issue short-term rental (STR) permits. Texas Local Government Code Chapter 233 limits county zoning authority over single-family residences in unincorporated areas, so the County cannot require STR registration. Operators must, however, collect the 6% Texas state hotel occupancy tax under Tax Code §156.051 on rentals under 30 days, plus any applicable city HOT inside McAllen, Edinburg, Mission, Pharr, or other incorporated areas. HB 2127 (2023) preempts certain local employment-related rules but did not establish statewide STR preemption.
Hidalgo County does not regulate short-term rental parking in unincorporated areas. Texas counties have no zoning authority to set off-street parking minimums. State law (Transportation Code §545.302) governs parking on county roads, and cities such as McAllen, Edinburg, and Mission set their own STR parking standards inside city limits.
These unincorporated areas are also governed by Hidalgo County ordinances.
