Short-term rentals (STRs), locally referred to as "vacation rentals," are regulated in Taylor County, Texas, where they are generally permitted subject to local zoning laws. The market features a range of properties, including rural cabins and homes that appeal to tourists looking to experience the natural scenery of the area. STRs tend to thrive due to the county's attractive outdoor attractions, catering mainly to tourists rather than business travelers. The overall business landscape supports a vibrant tourism economy, as visitors come for recreational activities and family gatherings. Taylor County follows the regulations set by its government authority, the Taylor County Commissioners Court, which oversees STR licensing and compliance, including the collection of hotel occupancy taxes.
