Short-Term Rental Regulations
Grapevine has one of the most restrictive STR frameworks in North Texas. Under Ordinance 2024-007 (adopted January 16, 2024), single-family short-term rentals are completely prohibited. It is also unlawful to advertise a prohibited STR.
STRs are legal only in qualifying multifamily complexes zoned R-MF or R-MF-2 with at least 50 units. Operators must obtain both a conditional use permit (CUP) and a city STR permit ($500/year, non-transferable). Additional caps: no more than 3% of a complex’s units may operate as STRs, operations are capped at 180 days per calendar year, occupancy is limited to 2 people per bedroom with a maximum of 12 people, and stays must be at least 24 hours. Properties within 500 feet of single-family-zoned land, in the Historic Grapevine Township, or in a Transit District Overlay are ineligible.
Compliance requirements include $1 million general liability insurance, a 24/7 responsible party who can respond within 60 minutes, noise limits (63 dB), no special events, and off-street parking. Booking platforms must display the city permit number and must remove non-compliant listings within 10 days of city notice.
Enforcement is strict: three or more violations within a year, or a single severe violation, can trigger permit suspension or revocation. A revoked operator cannot reapply for two years. Lodging is subject to a 7% city hotel occupancy tax plus the 6% state tax (13% combined). Investors must verify zoning eligibility before acquiring any property intended for STR use.
Market Comparison
Grapevine’s April 2026 occupancy of 58.7% sits above the U.S. STR median of approximately 55%, and its near-flat seasonality profile (trough month still at 50.0%) is unusual for a market of this size. The ADR of $179 is below the U.S. STR median of approximately $220, reflecting a mix of mid-range properties alongside higher-end accommodations.
The professional management landscape is led by Evolve with 175 listings and a 4.70 average rating across 7,004 reviews, representing approximately 2.3% of total market supply. Landing, Inc. holds 159 listings (3.98 rating) and Landing (a related entity) holds an additional 101 listings (3.29 rating). Stays by Monaco operates 91 listings with a 4.19 average rating. Properties By Preston rounds out the top five with 65 listings.
Combined, the top five operators account for 591 listings, or roughly 7.7% of the 7,711-listing market, well below the concentration levels typical of resort markets. The majority of supply is independently operated. Given the regulatory prohibition on single-family STRs, much of the listing inventory reflects operators either in qualifying multifamily buildings or legacy operators who may be subject to enforcement action.
