The Fort Worth City Council passed new regulations and enforcement for short-term rentals during its city council meeting Tuesday night. Here's what they decided.
Many homeowners were pushing for these regulations, complaining that there are hundreds of STRs operating illegally in the city. Over the past year, more than 800 STRs were open across Fort Worth. Of those, over 560 - more than 70% - were in areas where they are not allowed to operate.STRs, where allowed by zoning, will be required to register with the city and pay an annual fee. The initial year costs $150 and subsequent renewals will be $100 each year. Registrations are non-transferable.
Now, city staff will mail property owners and provide a timeline for registration. The deadline is June 1, 2023.
