No general rental-registration or landlord-license program exists in unincorporated Guadalupe County or in Seguin, Schertz, and Cibolo. Seguin registers only short-term rentals under 30 days, starting January 2026; long-term landlords owe no county or city registration.
Rental registration and licensing are municipal tools in Texas, and a county cannot license, register, or inspect residential rentals. Guadalupe County runs no landlord registry for unincorporated areas. Seguin, Schertz, and Cibolo issue building permits and register contractors but operate no general long-term rental-registration or inspection program. Seguin's 2025 short-term rental ordinance is the only registration requirement, and it reaches only stays under 30 days, not ordinary leases. Long-term landlords still answer to state law: the security-deposit rules and habitability duties in Property Code Chapter 92 and the eviction process in Chapter 24 apply whether or not any local registry exists.
There is no long-term rental-registration requirement, so there is no registration penalty. Operating a Seguin short-term rental without registering after January 1, 2026 violates that city's separate STR ordinance.
