Frisco charges a 9 percent city Hotel Occupancy Tax on top of the 6 percent Texas state tax, totaling 15 percent for hotels, motels, and qualifying short-term rentals booked under 30 days.
Texas Tax Code Chapter 351 lets cities like Frisco impose up to 9 percent local Hotel Occupancy Tax (HOT) on stays of 30 days or fewer; combined with the 6 percent state tax under Chapter 156, guests pay 15 percent total. Frisco uses HOT revenue for visitor promotion, the Frisco Convention Center, sports tourism (Toyota Stadium, The Star, PGA events), and Hall of Fame Village marketing. Operators remit monthly or quarterly to the city; airbnb collects state tax automatically but city remittance varies by platform.
Failing to collect or remit HOT exposes operators to back taxes, 10 percent penalty, interest, and possible audit; willful evasion is a state-level offense under Tax Code Chapter 156.
