Houston FAQ
Does a revoked certificate on one property affect my other rentals?
Yes. If you or your operator have three or more separate certificates revoked within a rolling 24 months, Houston's director can move to revoke every other certificate you hold, per section 28-733(b).
Can I appeal a citywide revocation under this rule?
Yes. It goes through the same notice-and-hearing process in section 28-735, and revocation isn't final until an impartial hearing officer rules on a timely appeal.
