No Travis County STR registration exists. State HOT registration with TX Comptroller (Form AP-102) is mandatory. Incorporated cities require separate licensing. Austin licenses renew annually for $443.
All Texas STR operators must register with the TX Comptroller within 30 days of first booking and file quarterly HOT returns. Travis County itself does not maintain an STR registry. Austin licensing requires proof of ownership, HOT permit, insurance, floor plan, and posted operating rules. Lakeway requires similar registration renewed annually. Operators in Austin ETJ (unincorporated) are not subject to Austin STR licensing.
TX Comptroller late-filing penalty: $50 minimum plus 5-10% of tax due. Austin operating without license: $500-$2,000 per day under Code 25-1-463.
