Travis County does not cap home-share length or distinguish extended stays from short stays. Hosts can rent rooms or whole homes for any duration, subject only to Texas hotel occupancy tax thresholds for stays under 30 days.
Travis County imposes no annual day cap, no minimum-stay rule, and no extended-share definition for unincorporated STRs. Texas hotel occupancy tax under Tax Code 156.022 applies to stays under 30 consecutive days; longer-term rentals fall outside hotel tax and into traditional landlord-tenant law under Texas Property Code Chapter 92. Hosts switching between short and extended formats do not trigger any county registration. Hill Country properties offering monthly winter retreats can do so without seeking county approval, though septic and water capacity must still match occupancy.
No length-of-stay violations exist; tax violations on under-30-day stays are pursued by the Texas Comptroller, not Travis County.
