Arlington does not cap the number of nights a host may rent out a portion of their home each year. Extended home-share arrangements are allowed without separate annual night limits, subject only to the standard STR permit and occupancy rules.
Many cities differentiate between hosted home-share stays under a yearly cap and unhosted whole-home rentals under tighter limits. Arlington takes a permissive approach: extended home-share rentals where the host remains onsite are not capped at a specific number of nights per year. Texas HB 1620 also limits municipal authority to set annual night caps on whole-home rentals. The framework supports long-stay traveling nurses, gameday season-ticket holders, and Six Flags seasonal workers who book rooms for weeks or months at a time within Arlington homes.
There is no annual night-limit penalty. Standard STR enforcement applies: operating without a permit, exceeding occupancy caps, or failing the 24-hour responsible-contact rule can each trigger fines up to 500 dollars per occurrence.
