Hidalgo County imposes no primary-residence requirement on short-term rentals in unincorporated areas, because it cannot zone or license STRs. Any owner-occupancy or homestead restriction would come only from a city ordinance.
Hidalgo County does not restrict short-term rentals to an owner's primary residence, and it has no authority to impose homestead-only or owner-occupied conditions on unincorporated property. Non-owner-occupied, investor, and second-home STRs are all permissible at the county level; the only STR duties reaching unincorporated Hidalgo County are state hotel occupancy tax registration and remittance. Primary-residence or owner-occupancy conditions, where they exist in Texas, are adopted by individual cities: McAllen regulates STRs under Code Chapter 46, Article VII, and any residency limitation would be found in a municipal code, not a county rule. Operators buying an investment STR outside city limits face no county primary-residence hurdle.
No county primary-residence rule exists; city STR ordinances enforce any owner-occupancy conditions within their limits.
