El Paso does not impose an annual night cap on short-term rentals. Operators may rent their properties year-round provided they comply with tax, zoning, and noise rules.
Unlike San Francisco or New York, El Paso has no cap on how many nights per year an STR may be rented. Both whole-home and owner-occupied rentals are permitted year-round. This approach aligns with Texas Property Code protections for property owners and the state's generally deregulated STR landscape. However, if an operator's property receives repeated nuisance citations, the city can pursue Chapter 240 nuisance abatement which may effectively limit operation. Hosts should focus on compliant year-round operation rather than annual caps.
No specific penalty tied to night counts. Nuisance or zoning violations can, however, lead to injunctive relief and operational limits.
