Update on Short Term Rental Regulations by Michael Graves

The following message was received from the office of CM Abbie Kamin. It pertains to new regulations that may impact short term rental, such as Air B&B, in the City of Houston. If you have concerns about such potential rules, here’s your chance to get informed about what’s coming.

Dear Neighborhood Leaders,

We are writing as our office has been informed that on Wednesday, March 26, 2025, Houston City Council will consider adopting an ordinance that would establish regulations for short-term rental (STR) properties operating within the city limits.

We encourage you to review the revised proposed ordinance. You can find the proposal at the following link: https://www.houstontx.gov/ara/str.html 

It is our understanding that the ordinance is not slated to go back to a Council Committee.

All my best,
Anna Smith
External Affairs Director
Office of Council Member Abbie Kamin, District C
City of Houston
