What is short term rental?

Short-term rentals (STRs) in Fort Worth, Texas, are permitted but regulated specifically in mixed-use, commercial, and industrial districts; rentals are not allowed in residential zones. The local term for these rentals is "short-term rentals," and they thrive mainly in urban settings such as apartments and some commercial properties, rather than rural cabins. The business landscape caters more to tourists visiting the area for events and attractions, but there is also demand from business travelers due to nearby corporate offices and conventions. The Fort Worth City Council is the governing authority responsible for these regulations, ensuring that nominal registration and safety compliance are met. Official regulations outline the operational requirements, including the need for an annual permit, which comes with a registration fee. For more details, you can refer to the official city website: https://www.fortworthtexas.gov/short-term-rentals.
