Converse FAQ
What hotel tax rate applies in Converse?
At minimum the 6 percent Texas state HOT applies. Any adopted Converse municipal HOT and Bexar County HOT would be added on top. Confirm current combined rate with the Texas Comptroller.
Does Airbnb collect all my taxes?
Airbnb collects the 6 percent state HOT for Texas hosts, but may not collect every local tax. Check your host dashboard and confirm remaining obligations with the Texas Comptroller.
Is there a small-rental exemption?
For federal income tax, the Augusta Rule (IRC 280A(g)) excludes income when the property is rented 14 or fewer days per year. This does not exempt HOT, which still applies to each booking.
San Antonio FAQ
Do I still owe HOT if Airbnb collects taxes for me?
Airbnb remits some Texas state and local taxes, but the operator is responsible for confirming what is collected and for filing any uncollected portion of the city, county, or state HOT directly. Always verify your platform's collection scope on the City of San Antonio HOT page.
Are stays longer than 30 days subject to HOT?
No. Texas Tax Code Chapter 156 and the city ordinance exempt rentals of 30 or more consecutive days to the same occupant from Hotel Occupancy Tax.
