STR bookings in Grapevine are subject to 6 percent Texas state HOT, 7 percent Grapevine local HOT, and annual registration and permit fees. Failure to remit triggers penalties and interest.
Short-term rental operators in Grapevine must register for and remit three categories of taxes and fees: (1) 6 percent Texas state hotel occupancy tax under TX Tax Code Chapter 156, filed with the Texas Comptroller; (2) 7 percent Grapevine hotel occupancy tax filed with the city monthly or quarterly; and (3) annual STR registration and inspection fees set by city fee schedule. Booking platform collection agreements may cover state HOT but operators are typically still responsible for the local city HOT. Failure to register or remit triggers penalties, interest, and potential revocation of the STR permit. Operators should keep booking records, exemption certificates (for extended stays over 30 days), and platform reports for at least four years for audit purposes. Contact the Grapevine Finance or Convention and Visitors Bureau for city HOT filings.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
