STR operators in Round Rock must collect Texas state Hotel Occupancy Tax (6%) plus Round Rock's local HOT. Combined tax applies to all rentals under 30 days.
Texas state law imposes a 6% Hotel Occupancy Tax (HOT) on all short-term rentals (stays under 30 days). Round Rock levies an additional local HOT on top of the state rate. STR operators must register with the Texas Comptroller for the state portion and with Round Rock Finance Department for the local portion. Platforms such as Airbnb and VRBO typically collect and remit state HOT automatically, but operators may still be responsible for the local portion. Quarterly or monthly filings are required depending on revenue volume.
Failure to collect/remit HOT results in back taxes plus penalty of 15% and interest. Criminal penalties possible for willful evasion.
