Short-Term Rental Regulations
Beaumont transitioned from an unregulated STR market to a formal permit system in late 2025. City Council approved an ordinance (Sec. 28.04.009) in December 2025 requiring all short-term rentals (defined as any rental of a dwelling for fewer than 30 consecutive days) to obtain an STR permit before advertising or listing on platforms such as Airbnb or VRBO.
The permit is issued by the Planning and Community Development Department through the city’s online permit portal and must be renewed annually. Total annual fees are approximately $185, comprising a $100 registration fee, a $75 inspection fee, and a $10 usage fee. The permit number must be displayed on all listing platform pages. Operators at the time of adoption had 60 days to register.
STR operators must collect and remit hotel occupancy tax: Beaumont’s city HOT is 7%, the Texas state HOT is 6%, and the Jefferson County HOT is 2%, for a combined total of approximately 15% of gross rental receipts. There is no owner-occupancy or primary-residence requirement and no annual night cap. Operating or advertising without a valid permit may result in fines.
Investors should confirm zoning eligibility and proximity-to-other-STR rules with the Planning and Community Development Department at 409-880-3100 before purchasing, as the ordinance is new and implementation details may still be evolving. Enforcement is rated moderate.
Market Comparison
Beaumont’s April 2026 occupancy of 42.8% is below the US STR median of approximately 55%, but April is a below-average month in this market. The 2025 annual average occupancy of 44.6% is also below the national median, reflecting Beaumont’s market profile as a secondary Southeast Texas city without a dominant leisure-destination draw. The April 2026 ADR of $203 is near the US STR median of approximately $220, suggesting competitive per-night pricing despite the occupancy gap.
Among property managers, Evolve leads the market with 774 listings and a 4.71 average rating across 27,617 reviews, representing substantial scale. Vacasa is second with 238 listings and a 4.67 rating across 8,722 reviews. FCR Partners manages 103 listings at a 4.68 rating. Neal’s Lodges holds 97 listings with a 4.79 rating. 979 Vacation Property Services operates 96 listings with a 4.62 rating across 3,231 reviews. The top 5 operators collectively manage 1,308 listings. Evolve’s dominant position in this market (774 listings out of a large total supply) and strong review volume across 27,617 reviews suggests Beaumont is a core Evolve market in the Southeast Texas region.
The investability score of 89.0 is notably high for a secondary industrial-corridor market, pointing to consistent revenue growth relative to acquisition cost levels that Bayou Region Texas pricing typically offers.
