STR hosts need not be present, but Port Aransas requires a designated local contact available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, who responds in person within one hour to complaints. Corpus Christi similarly requires a 24-hour contact number on the permit application.
The county sets no host rule, but both cities require a reachable local responsible party. Port Aransas requires the operator to name a local contact person, available around the clock, whose duties include responding in person within one hour to complaints about the condition, operation, or conduct of occupants and taking immediate remedial action. Corpus Christi's STR application must include the name, address, and 24-hour telephone number of a contact person. On-site host presence is not mandated, but a slow or unreachable contact undermines compliance and can trigger enforcement.
Failing to maintain a responsive 24/7 local contact is a compliance failure that can lead to citations and permit revocation.
