Unincorporated Williamson County has no rental registration. Texas counties cannot license, register, or inspect residential rentals — that power belongs only to cities. A landlord owes no county filing, permit, or fee to rent out a house in the unincorporated county.
Rental registration and licensing are municipal tools in Texas, and Williamson County holds no ordinance-making authority to create one for unincorporated areas. There is no landlord registry, no annual rental permit, no mandatory inspection program, and no per-unit fee outside a city's limits. Landlords still answer to state law — the security-deposit rules in Property Code Chapter 92, the habitability duties in that chapter, and the eviction process in Chapter 24 — but none of that requires registering the property with the county. A tenant who wants a code inspection must look to state remedies or, if the property later annexes into a city, that city's rental program.
There is no registration requirement, so there is no registration penalty. The county cannot fine a landlord for failing to register a rental that sits outside city limits.
