Bexar County does not regulate extended home-share stays separately from shorter rentals. Stays under 30 days remain subject to hotel occupancy tax; stays of 30 days or more convert to standard tenancy under Texas Property Code chapter 92.
Texas tax law treats any stay under 30 consecutive days as a hotel occupancy taxable rental, while stays of 30 or more days become residential tenancies governed by the Texas Property Code. Bexar County does not impose additional permit tiers, length-of-stay caps, or extended-stay licensing on home-share arrangements in unincorporated areas. A host renting a room or whole home for several months at a time is essentially operating a residential lease and gains protections and obligations of landlord-tenant law, including security deposit rules under Property Code 92.103 and habitability duties under 92.052.
No county-specific penalties. Failing to convert long-stay billing to non-taxable residential lease can trigger state tax issues; ignoring tenancy rights at 30+ days exposes hosts to tenant-protection lawsuits.
