Allen does not currently impose a hard annual night cap on STR rental activity. Non-owner-occupied rentals may face additional scrutiny if ordinance amendments move forward in future council sessions.
Unlike cities such as Plano or Frisco which have debated 180-day or similar caps, Allen as of early 2026 allows year-round STR operation provided taxes are paid and standards met. Operators should monitor council agendas; staff studies have been presented regarding owner-occupancy differentiation. Contact Allen at (214) 509-4100 for enforcement.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
