Short-term rental permit rules in Flower Mound, TX — also called Airbnb permits, vacation rental licenses, or STR registration — list the application steps, fees, and operating requirements for hosting.
Flower Mound requires all short-term rental operators to register through the GovOS platform (launched November 2023) for hotel occupancy tax collection. The Town has not adopted a comprehensive STR permitting or zoning ordinance. HOA deed restrictions in most neighborhoods are the primary barrier to STR operation.
As of November 20, 2023, the Town of Flower Mound requires short-term rental operators to register via the GovOS platform at flower-mound.munirevs.com. Registration is primarily for hotel occupancy tax (HOT) compliance rather than a traditional land-use permit. The Town declined to pursue a comprehensive STR zoning ordinance, meaning there are no Town-imposed occupancy limits, operational requirements, or permit caps specific to STRs. However, most Flower Mound neighborhoods are governed by active homeowner associations with CC&Rs that prohibit rentals of fewer than 30 days. Neighborhoods including Bridlewood, Wellington, Canyon Falls, Tour 18 Golf Colony, and Oakmont typically restrict or ban short-term rentals through deed restrictions. Texas Property Code 202.007 generally supports HOA enforcement of deed restrictions. Operators should verify their HOA rules before listing. Contact STR@flowermound.gov or (888) 751-1911 for GovOS registration support.
Failure to register for HOT may trigger Texas Comptroller enforcement action including penalties and interest. HOA violations of no-STR deed restrictions may result in injunctive relief, fines, and legal action per CC&Rs. General code violations carry fines up to $500 per day.
