Beaumont Requires an STR Permit Before You List

In Beaumont, an STR is all or part of a home rented for less than 30 days in a row. Some uses do not count, such as a hospital, nursing home, or college dorm.

Ask Planning to check the zoning and distance from other STRs. Then apply through the city permit site. Include proof of state hotel tax registration, a site plan, a floor plan, and contact names. The city must also inspect the home.

The permit number must be in the listing. All steps must be done before the home is advertised.

These rules cover Beaumont only. For an address outside the city, first find the city or county office that has control of the property.
