ADU Rental Restrictions: Frisco vs McKinney

What about Airbnb in Frisco?

Short-term rentals (<30 days) require collection and remittance of Hotel Occupancy Tax — 6% state HOT under TX Tax Code Ch. 156 and the City's local HOT under Ch. 351. The underlying unit must be a legal dwelling — an unauthorized accessory rental remains a zoning violation regardless of tax compliance. Long-term rental (30+ days) is permitted only where an SUP allows the second unit and owner-occupancy continues.

Are there rent caps in Frisco?

No, and Frisco cannot adopt them. Texas Local Government Code §214.902 expressly preempts municipal rent control. The Texas Property Code Chapter 92 governs landlord-tenant relationships including notice periods, security deposits, and eviction.

Can I rent my McKinney accessory structure?

Generally no in single-family zoning — the accessory structure cannot be a separate rental household. Where a Specific Use Permit has authorized a true ADU, long-term rental (30+ days) is allowed with continued owner-occupancy of either unit.

What about Airbnb in McKinney?

Short-term rentals (<30 days) require McKinney STR registration, a 24-hour local contact, and collection of Hotel Occupancy Tax (state 6% under Tax Code Ch. 156 + McKinney 7% local HOT under Tax Code Ch. 351). The underlying unit must be a legal dwelling — an unauthorized accessory rental remains a zoning violation.
