Laredo does not impose a per-year maximum night cap on short-term rentals. Operators may rent out dwellings for unlimited nights annually, subject to zoning, HOT registration, and IPMC occupancy standards.
Unlike cities such as San Francisco (90-night cap for un-hosted stays) or New York, Laredo has not enacted an annual night cap on STR activity. Properties may be rented for the full year provided they comply with hotel occupancy tax registration, zoning use permissions, and building code requirements. Any rental of 30 or more consecutive days to the same guest is reclassified as a residential tenancy subject to Texas Property Code Chapter 92 landlord-tenant rules rather than STR/HOT rules. The absence of a night cap reflects Texas legislative reluctance to impose state-level STR restrictions and Laredo home-rule discretion. Future changes to the Land Development Code could introduce caps, particularly in residential zones, so operators should monitor City Council agendas.
