Bexar County has no three-strikes or escalating-penalty system for repeat short-term rental code violators. Enforcement is limited to nuisance, septic, and noise complaints handled by the Sheriff's Office and Public Works.
Several Texas cities adopted progressive enforcement schedules that revoke STR permits after multiple noise, parking, or occupancy violations within a 12-month window. Bexar County has not enacted such a strike system in unincorporated areas because it lacks STR permitting authority. Complaints about unincorporated STRs typically funnel through BCSO non-emergency dispatch for noise, the Bexar County Public Works wastewater team for septic overflow, or Animal Care Services for pet-related issues. Each complaint is treated as a discrete case; there is no aggregated record that triggers automatic STR shutdown after a threshold count of incidents.
Individual nuisance, septic, or noise violations are handled case by case. No automatic permit revocation. Civil penalties for septic violations can reach $1,000 per day under Texas Health and Safety Code 366.
