Showing ordinances that apply to Lost Creek, TX
Lost Creek is an unincorporated community (population 1,276) in Travis County, Texas. Because Lost Creek is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Travis County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The night caps rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Travis County does not cap STR rental nights. Austin Type 2 STRs are currently limited to non-owner-occupied rental with no annual night cap; owner-occupied Type 1 has no limit.
No night-cap ordinance exists at the county level because Travis County does not license STRs. Austin City Code 25-2-791 through 25-2-795 regulates STR density (Type 2 caps at 3% per census tract) rather than nights rented. A 2022 Texas Supreme Court ruling (Zaatari v. Austin) struck down Austin's ban on non-owner-occupied STRs in residential zones. Operators may rent year-round subject to license conditions.
