League City's STR ordinance (Sec. 125-3.14.18) sets no annual night cap or maximum-rented-days limit. Permitted operators may rent year-round, subject to permit renewal, HOT remittance, parking, and posted occupancy rules.
Section 125-3.14.18 of the League City zoning code establishes a permit, inspection, posting, and tax-remittance framework for short-term rentals but does not impose a ceiling on the number of nights per year a permitted property may be rented. The City's published STR Operator Guidelines and Permit Checklist similarly contain no annual rented-night limit, host-presence requirement, or primary-residence-only mandate. Texas does not preempt local STR regulation under any statewide statute, so the absence of a night cap reflects a deliberate local choice rather than state law. Operators must, however, remain continuously compliant with annual permit renewal, the four-parking-space requirement, posted occupancy maximums, the 24-hour local contact obligation, and quarterly Hotel Occupancy Tax remittance. HOA covenants in master-planned subdivisions such as Tuscan Lakes, Mar Bella, or Westover Park may impose private night-cap or duration limits stricter than the City Code.
Because no city night cap exists, exceeding any specific rented-night threshold is not itself a violation. The City may, however, suspend or revoke a permit for repeated noise, parking, occupancy, or HOT-remittance violations, with citation fines up to $500 per offense.
