All Grapevine STRs must register annually with the city. Registration requires insurance, local contact, tax setup, and inspection, and is subject to revocation after repeated violations.
Grapevine requires every short-term rental to complete an annual registration before listing or accepting bookings. Registration paperwork typically requires proof of ownership or landlord authorization, commercial liability insurance, a 24-hour local contact name and phone number, floor plan, parking plan, posted house rules, state and local hotel occupancy tax account numbers, and payment of the registration fee. A life-safety inspection may verify smoke alarms, CO alarms, fire extinguishers, and egress. Registration must be renewed annually and updated if ownership, management, or local contact changes. Code Compliance and Planning may revoke registrations after repeated noise, parking, or occupancy violations. Operating an unregistered STR is a Class C misdemeanor subject to per-day fines. Contact Planning at (817) 410-3154 for application materials.
