Live Oak does not maintain a rental property registration program. Landlords must comply with Texas Property Code Chapter 92 but are not required to register long-term rentals with the city.
The City of Live Oak does not require landlords of long-term residential rentals to register or obtain an annual permit for their rental units. This is consistent with Texas Local Government Code 214.902, which limits municipal rent control and rental regulation. However, landlords operating short-term rentals (under 30 days) may be subject to hotel occupancy tax collection requirements, and any rental must comply with the International Property Maintenance Code provisions that Live Oak has adopted for building safety. Landlords must still disclose ownership and management contact information in writing to tenants under Texas Property Code 92.201, which requires disclosure of the name and address of the landlord or management company either in the lease or posted at the property. Multi-family properties with common areas must comply with Live Oak fire code inspection schedules performed by the Live Oak Fire Marshal. Before enforcement action changes, landlords should verify current requirements with Live Oak City Hall at (210) 653-9140.
