Full Breakdown
The City of Lewisville does not currently impose a maximum number of rental nights per year for registered short-term rental properties. Unlike some cities that cap STRs at 90 or 120 nights per year, Lewisville allows year-round operation as long as the property maintains valid registration and complies with all applicable codes. Texas state law does not set a statewide night cap for STRs. The city retains authority to amend this policy through ordinance changes, and council has periodically reviewed STR regulations in response to resident concerns about party houses and neighborhood impact. Operators should monitor city council agendas for any proposed amendments to STR rules. HOA covenants in some Lewisville subdivisions, particularly Castle Hills and the developments near Lewisville Lake, may independently limit rental frequency. Platforms track and report rental activity, which the city can cross-reference with tax filings to verify compliance.
Violations & Fines
No penalty for number of nights rented. Violations relate to registration, safety, noise, or tax compliance.
