Market Overview
Flower Mound is an affluent suburb in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex (Denton and Tarrant counties), situated along the northern shore of Grapevine Lake and roughly 20 miles northwest of DFW International Airport. It is primarily a residential bedroom community; STR demand comes from Grapevine Lake recreation, 75-plus miles of hiking and biking trails, youth sports tournaments, and proximity to DFW Airport and the broader metroplex employment base.
The short-term rental market here covers the DFW metro catchment area and is one of the largest urban-suburban STR markets in Texas, with approximately 19,527 active listings. In April 2026, the market posted an average daily rate of $172 and occupancy of 60.0%, generating a RevPAR of $103.

Short-Term Rental Regulations
Flower Mound has one of the lightest STR regulatory frameworks in the DFW area. The Town has not adopted a dedicated STR ordinance, permit, or license requirement. The only mandatory municipal obligation is registration with the Town and remittance of the 7% local hotel occupancy tax (HOT) on all short-term stays. Registration is handled through the Town’s GovOS (MuniRevs) portal at flower-mound.munirevs.com, which launched November 20, 2023.
Tax forms and payments are due by the 15th of the month following each rental month. Operators who file on time may retain a 1% collection fee. Late filings (after the 25th of the month) incur a 15% penalty plus 10% annual interest after 30 days. In addition to the 7% local HOT, operators owe Texas’s 6% state hotel occupancy tax, reported separately to the Texas Comptroller.
There is no cap on rental nights per year, no owner-occupancy requirement, and no primary-residence requirement at the town level. There is no STR-specific zoning overlay. Enforcement is minimal and focused on tax compliance. However, investors must verify that any HOA covenants or deed restrictions for the specific property permit short-term rentals, as private CC&R restrictions are common in Flower Mound’s master-planned neighborhoods and can independently prohibit STRs.
Market Comparison
Flower Mound’s April 2026 ADR of $172 is below the US STR median of approximately $220, reflecting the suburban bedroom-community character and the large volume of private-room and budget listings in this metro catchment area. However, occupancy at 60.0% in April is above the US mid-spring median of roughly 55%, and the 2025 annual average occupancy of 61.0% is consistently above national norms.
The market’s combination of above-average occupancy and below-average ADR is typical of large metro-adjacent markets where quantity of demand (driven by corporate travel, airport proximity, and events) is higher than in resort destinations, but willingness-to-pay is moderated by suburban accommodation alternatives.
The professional management landscape here shows some unusual patterns. Evolve leads with 236 listings and a 4.41 average rating across 5,915 reviews. Landing, Inc. follows with 196 listings but only 238 reviews and a 4.36 rating, indicating a newer or less-reviewed portfolio. Landing (a separate entity) holds 169 listings with only 7 reviews and a 2.68 rating, suggesting very early-stage or recently relisted inventory. Luxora operates 124 listings with a 4.36 rating across 4,413 reviews. Properties By Preston rounds out the top five with 109 listings and a 3.61 rating. Evolve’s 236 listings represent approximately 1.2% of the total 19,527-listing market, reflecting a highly fragmented landscape.
