McKinney does not require general rental property registration. Short-term rentals (under 30 days) require separate registration through the city Finance Department for Hotel Occupancy Tax collection.
Unlike Dallas or Arlington, McKinney has no rental registration program for long-term residential rentals. Property owners are not required to register with the city or obtain inspection certificates. Short-term rental operators must register for HOT collection. HOAs may impose their own rental restrictions within master-planned communities like Craig Ranch or Stonebridge Ranch.
