The City of Dallas imposes a 9% Hotel Occupancy Tax (HOT) on all short-term rentals of 30 days or less. This is in addition to the 6% Texas state Hotel Occupancy Tax, making the combined tax rate 15%. All STR owners must register for HOT collection with the City Controller's Office through the MUNIRevs online portal. Monthly reports are due by the 15th of the month following the month in which the tax was collected. The tax applies to gross room receipts. Operators must maintain records of all rentals and tax collected. Chapter 44 of the Dallas Code of Ordinances governs hotel occupancy taxes.
Failure to collect or remit HOT may result in penalties and interest on unpaid taxes. Late filings incur additional fees. The City Controller's Office enforces compliance.
