STRs in The Woodlands are subject to Texas state Hotel Occupancy Tax (6%) and any applicable Montgomery County or city HOT. Airbnb collects and remits taxes for qualifying reservations.
Short-term rentals in The Woodlands for stays under 30 nights are subject to the Texas state Hotel Occupancy Tax of 6%. Montgomery County collects an additional county HOT where applicable. Because The Woodlands is unincorporated, there is no municipal HOT layer, but county tax may apply. Airbnb collects and remits applicable taxes for bookings made through its platform. VRBO and independent hosts may need to remit directly to the Texas Comptroller. Failure to collect and remit HOT subjects operators to state penalties. The STR permit application through the Township does not include a fee as of 2024.
Failure to remit HOT results in Comptroller penalties and interest. No Township fine for tax non-compliance.
