Cedar Park's short-term rental ordinance and Hotel Occupancy Tax apply only to rentals of 30 consecutive days or fewer. Longer 'extended home-share' or month-plus stays are treated as ordinary residential tenancies, not STRs.
Cedar Park defines a short-term rental as 'the rental of all or part of a residential property for a period of 30 consecutive days or fewer to an individual who is not a permanent resident.' Stays of 30 or more consecutive days are excluded from this definition and therefore from the STR registration requirement that takes effect October 1, 2026. The Hotel Occupancy Tax under Article 10.03 likewise applies only to rentals 'used for sleeping for less than 30 days' — consistent with the state HOT framework in Tex. Tax Code §156.101, which exempts permanent residents (a guest who has the right to use a room for at least 30 consecutive days). Extended-stay arrangements (long-term roommate or boarder situations, monthly furnished rentals) instead fall under Texas landlord-tenant law (Tex. Property Code Ch. 92) and any applicable zoning regulations on residential use under Article 11 of the Cedar Park Code. There is no separate Cedar Park 'home-share' permit category.
Because 30+ day stays are not STRs, no Cedar Park STR registration fine or HOT obligation attaches. Standard residential landlord-tenant rights and any HOA covenants apply.
