Market Score Breakdown
Five dimensions StaySTRA evaluates per market.
Market Overview
Boerne, Texas sits roughly 30 miles northwest of San Antonio in the Texas Hill Country, and its short-term rental market reflects that geography: a large and diverse supply catering primarily to weekend visitors from San Antonio, Austin, and beyond. As of April 2026, the market posted an average daily rate of $179 and an occupancy rate of 54.4%, producing a RevPAR of $97.68.
The market is dominated by entire-place listings, which account for 13,539 of the roughly 14,892 active listing appearances tracked, compared to 1,342 private rooms and just 11 shared rooms. Bedroom distribution is broad: 1-bedroom units lead with 4,646 listings, followed by 3-bedrooms at 4,055, 2-bedrooms at 3,072, 4-bedrooms at 2,160, and 5-bedroom properties at 939. That spread toward larger homes reflects the Hill Country demand for group getaways and extended-stay visitors.
On a year-over-year basis, occupancy edged up 0.95% while ADR declined 3.34% and revenue fell 2.76%, signaling modest softening from the 2024 peak year. Annual averages from 2025 show occupancy at 53.7%, ADR at $185, and average monthly revenue of $2,815. The market’s total score from StaySTRA sits at 59.3 out of 100, with investability rated 76.1, reflecting solid structural demand despite near-term rate compression.

Short-Term Rental Regulations
Boerne permits STRs citywide and within its extra-territorial jurisdiction under a Short-Term Rental Ordinance updated in 2023. Operators must register through the city’s STR Registration and Hotel Occupancy Tax portal. The registration fee is $200, valid for two years, renewable for another $200 within 30 days of expiration.
Properties within city limits require a safety inspection by city staff or a licensed third-party inspector. ETJ properties are exempt from the inspection requirement. All operators must carry liability insurance of at least $500,000 per occurrence and $1 million aggregate, provide one parking space per bedroom, and limit occupancy to two people per bedroom plus two additional people. Events and parties are prohibited.
Zoning matters significantly in Boerne. In residential zones, an STR cannot operate within 200 feet of another STR on the same block face. STRs are permitted without the separation requirement in commercial areas of the Historic, Downtown, and River Road overlay districts, but are prohibited in commercial zones outside those overlays. There is no owner-occupancy or primary-residence requirement and no annual cap on nights.
Operators must collect and remit the city’s 7% Hotel Occupancy Tax quarterly through the portal, on top of the 6% Texas state HOT, for a combined 13% tax rate. Enforcement is rated moderate by our data source.
Market Comparison
The US short-term rental market broadly averages around 55% occupancy and approximately $220 ADR. Boerne’s 54.4% occupancy lands near the national median, while its $179 ADR runs roughly 19% below the national figure, consistent with its position as a regional Hill Country leisure market rather than a major destination city.
