Nueces County and its cities set no limit on how many nights per year a home can be rented short-term. An STR is simply defined by stays under 30 consecutive days. There is no rented-nights ceiling, though the 30-day threshold separates STR use from long-term tenancy.
Some cities cap the number of nights a property may be rented annually; Nueces County's cities do not. Port Aransas defines a short-term rental as sleeping accommodations offered for less than 30 consecutive days and imposes no annual night limit. Corpus Christi defines an STR as a rental of less than 30 days and likewise sets no yearly cap on booked nights. The practical boundary is the 30-continuous-day mark: once a single guest stays 30 days or more, the use is no longer a short-term rental and hotel occupancy tax no longer applies.
There is no night-cap violation to enforce; enforcement instead targets unpermitted operation, occupancy, tax, or nuisance breaches.
