Texas charges 6 percent state HOT on stays under 30 days (Tax Code 156) and Keller adds a 7 percent local HOT (Chapter 351). Operators must collect and remit both regardless of platform.
Short-term rentals in Keller are subject to the Texas state hotel occupancy tax at 6 percent under Texas Tax Code Chapter 156, plus the Keller local hotel occupancy tax at 7 percent under Texas Tax Code Chapter 351, for a combined 13 percent rate on the rental price for stays of 30 days or less. The state tax is paid to the Texas Comptroller on a monthly or quarterly basis depending on volume. The local Keller tax is remitted directly to the City of Keller Finance Department under the procedures in the Keller Code of Ordinances. Airbnb collects and remits the 6 percent state tax on behalf of hosts but does not collect the Keller local tax, meaning operators on Airbnb are personally responsible for the 7 percent local portion. VRBO and direct bookings require operators to collect and remit both the state and local portions. Stays of 30 consecutive days or more to the same guest are exempt from both taxes. Registration with both the Comptroller and the city is required before collecting.
Failure to remit Texas state HOT is subject to penalties up to 10 percent of tax plus interest under Tax Code 156.202. Keller local HOT delinquency triggers late fees, interest, and possible civil collection action.
