Bexar County imposes a 1.75% county Hotel Occupancy Tax on rooms costing two dollars or more per day, stacked on top of the 6% Texas state HOT for a roughly 7.75% baseline before any city surcharges apply.
Under Texas Tax Code Chapter 352, Bexar County levies a 1.75% Hotel Occupancy Tax on the cost of any room rented for two dollars or more per day for fewer than 30 consecutive days. The county HOT layers on top of the 6% Texas state HOT, producing a 7.75% baseline rate in unincorporated Bexar County. Hotels inside city limits typically owe additional municipal HOT. Operators must collect the tax from guests, file quarterly returns with the County Auditor, and remit collected funds. Revenue funds tourism promotion, the Convention Center, and venue projects.
Failure to collect, report, or remit Hotel Occupancy Tax exposes operators to penalties, interest, audit assessments, and potential civil suit by the county for delinquent amounts.
