The city will be holding four informations from January 21-27 to discuss proposed changes to Austin's short term rental regulations. Here are the dates:
- Tuesday, Jan. 21, 11 a.m. - 1 p.m., Zoom
- Wednesday, Jan. 22, 6-8 p.m., Montopolis Recreation and Community Center
- Thursday, Jan. 23, 6-8 p.m., Permitting and Development Center
- Monday, Jan. 27, 6-8 p.m., Austin Central Library
The city would prefer that potential attendees register in advance. There will also be public hearings at City Hall which you can attend on February 4th, 6th, and 27th (follow link for more details).
The impetus for these upcoming rule changes is a 2023 ruling from the Western District of Texas which said that it was unconstitutional for Austin to have stopped issuing STR Type 2 licenses. The city has been issuing STR Type 2 licenses since then. Proposed rule changes could include collection of hotel tax, where in the ordinances the regulations are placed, density rules, and so forth.
