Short-Term Rental Regulations
Converse operates under a light regulatory environment for short-term rentals as of mid-2026. No STR-specific ordinance, registration requirement, or permit program was found in the published Converse Code of Ordinances or city resources. The city has not adopted dedicated STR caps, owner-occupancy requirements, or minimum-stay restrictions.
General municipal requirements still apply: zoning compliance under Code of Ordinances Chapter 50, a Certificate of Occupancy where applicable for commercial use of a space, and standard building and fire code compliance.
On the tax side, Texas imposes a statewide hotel occupancy tax of 6% on stays under 30 nights. Airbnb and VRBO typically collect and remit this tax automatically. Whether Converse levies an additional local hotel occupancy tax (Texas cities may impose up to 7%) could not be confirmed from available sources and should be verified directly with the City of Converse Finance Department (210-658-8285) before operating.
Enforcement appears minimal and complaint-driven. The regulatory score of 68.45 out of 100 reflects this permissive environment. That said, surrounding cities are moving toward regulation: San Antonio enforces an STR permit program, and Houston adopted a new ordinance effective January 1, 2026. Operators should monitor Converse city council activity, as suburban Texas cities have been adopting STR rules at an increasing rate. Confirm current requirements directly with the city before purchasing or listing.
Market Comparison
Converse’s April 2026 ADR of $179 sits below the US short-term rental median ADR of approximately $220, reflecting its role as a value-oriented suburban lodging market rather than a primary tourism destination. Occupancy at 54.4% is close to the national median of roughly 55%, indicating the market holds demand in line with broader US norms despite its lack of marquee local attractions.
The market’s total score of 59.3 out of 100 (with investability at 76.06 and seasonality at 79.07) positions it as a moderate-opportunity market with relatively stable, year-round demand and favorable conditions for new entrants.
The professional management landscape is well-developed. Evolve leads with 312 listings and 13,836 reviews (4.68 rating), followed by Feliz Stays SA with 194 listings and 13,450 reviews (4.72 rating). Landing, Inc. manages 180 listings (4.31 rating), Vacasa holds 160 listings (4.56 rating), and New Braunfels Escapes rounds out the top five with 157 listings (4.67 rating). Together the top five operators control approximately 1,003 listings, representing around 6.7% of active inventory, which means the market remains largely self-managed with room for professional operators to grow share.
