Texas has no statewide rental registration system and no statute capping what cities charge for local programs. Cities adopt their own registration and inspection ordinances under home-rule authority, while Property Code Chapter 92 sets statewide tenant protections on deposits, repairs, and smoke alarms that apply everywhere.
No Texas statute requires landlords to register rental property, and no state law caps registration or inspection fees, so rental registration is a city-by-city matter. Dallas, DeSoto, Mesquite, and other cities operate registration or inspection programs with their own fees and schedules; many Texas cities have none. Statewide, Property Code Chapter 92 imposes uniform landlord duties: security deposits must be refunded within 30 days of surrender (92.103), landlords must diligently repair conditions materially affecting health or safety after notice (92.052-92.061), install and maintain smoke alarms (92.251-92.259), and disclose ownership and management (92.201). These tenant protections cannot be waived by lease or weakened by local ordinance.
Failing to register where a city requires it is a municipal code violation, typically punished by fines. Landlord violations of Chapter 92 duties on deposits, repairs, and smoke alarms trigger statutory damages and attorney's fees.
