Plano allows extended home-share arrangements where guests rent a single bedroom for weeks or months at a time. Stays of 30 days or longer move out of the hotel-occupancy tax bracket and convert to standard residential lease territory under Texas Property Code Chapter 92.
Texas Tax Code Section 156.101 exempts continuous occupancy of 30 days or more from state hotel-occupancy tax, and Plano follows the same threshold for the city seven-percent HOT. Hosts renting a spare room to a traveling Toyota or JCPenney consultant on a 60-day assignment owe no HOT once the 30-day mark is crossed. Such rentals fall under Texas residential landlord-tenant law, requiring written notices for entry, lawful eviction procedures, and security-deposit handling under Property Code Chapter 92. Plano STR registration is generally not required for stays exceeding 30 days.
Charging hotel tax on stays longer than 30 days, or skipping required tenant notices on long-stay arrangements, exposes hosts to Tax Code refund claims and Property Code damages.
