Fort Worth Short-Term Rentals Belong in Specific Zoning Districts

Fort Worth calls a home stay of 1 to 29 days a short-term rental. The city allows these stays in all mixed-use districts. It also allows them in most form-based districts and in commercial and industrial districts. They are barred in A-#, AR, B, R1, R2, CR, C, D, and UR, so check the zoning for the exact address.

A legal Fort Worth STR must register each year before it is listed. The host must show the registration number and pay city hotel tax. These are Fort Worth rules, not countywide rules. An address in Arlington, Grapevine, or another city needs that city's own rule check.
