Bexar County does not impose liability on Airbnb, Vrbo, or other booking platforms for unincorporated host violations. Texas HB 1620 (2025) restricts local rules that hold platforms responsible for individual property compliance.
Some jurisdictions outside Texas require booking platforms to verify host permits, collect fines, or remove non-compliant listings. Texas HB 1620 sharply limits these obligations, treating platforms as conduits rather than co-regulators. Bexar County has no ordinance imposing platform liability for unincorporated STRs. Platforms still voluntarily collect Texas state hotel occupancy tax (6%) and certain local hotel occupancy taxes through agreements with the Comptroller, and may remove listings that violate their own terms of service, but the county cannot legally compel them to enforce code-compliance checks at the listing level.
None against platforms at the county level. Hosts remain individually liable for septic, nuisance, and tax-collection violations regardless of which platform listed the property.
