Any Hosts based in Euless, Tarrant County?

[Kayode10]

Hello, I am about to close on a property in Euless, Tarrant County in Texas. I was told the STR registration process is quite rigorous. Anyone gone through the process. Want to inquire about putting in a qualifying application

I haven't had to do a STR in Euless, but in Fort Worth is also very rigorous. We opted to do mid-term rental (30 days or more) rather than try and go through the registration process. You've probably seen the Euless rules, but here they are for reference: https://www.eulesstx.gov/departments/planning-and-economic-development/short-term-rentals

Thanks @Jeremy1110 . I have actually seen the rule. The city representative hinted that even of the requirements are met, there is no guaranty that the STR permit will be granted. Wanted to see if there is anyone out there that have gone through the process from end to end and point me to pitfalls to avoid.

@Elisa Thank you for referencing me.  I've been offline for about a week, so sorry if this response is a bit late.

Not familiar with Tarrant County, but from previous replies, seems as if you may already have the STR issue addressed.   I do however have a wonderful application prepared that you can use for any STR and LTR's.   IM me and I will forward you an editable copy.

One important item to add to any rental that is longer than the 2-6 day bookings is to add a mandatory 'maintenance and inspection' period during the stays.   This will allow you the opportunity to enter the property and check basically everything.   

And as an important recommendation, any LTR's over 29 days (in Texas), the occupants enter into a Tenant status and the rules and regulations can be an issue to any property owner and it can become difficult and expensive should an owner have to remove a individuals that are in violation of agreement(s), House Rules, etc.
