Frisco FAQ

Is there a limit on how many nights I can rent my Frisco home per year?

No city annual cap. But weekend bookings must be at least 2 nights, and your HOA may impose longer minimum stays.

Who enforces this in Frisco?

Frisco code enforcement at (972) 292-5000 handles complaints.

Plano FAQ

How many nights per year can I rent my Plano Airbnb?

There is no annual cap. Grandfathered STRs registered before August 1, 2024 may rent all 365 nights, subject to all other rules (HOT, insurance, noise, occupancy). Plano controls density through zoning rather than annual night limits.

Is there a Plano rule requiring me to live in the STR part of the year?

No. Plano does not require an STR to be a primary residence or hosted. The zoning restriction on new STRs in single-family districts is the key control, not an owner-occupancy or night-cap rule.
