Market Overview

Short-Term Rental Regulations
Humble is a small incorporated city in Harris County, separate from the City of Houston. The City of Houston’s 2025-2026 STR registration ordinance does not apply within Humble’s city limits.
No verifiable City of Humble short-term rental ordinance, permit requirement, fee schedule, or occupancy cap could be confirmed from a government or primary source as of this profile date. Short-term rentals appear to be permitted, and enforcement severity is rated minimal. Operators are subject to the Texas state hotel occupancy tax of 6%. Humble may levy a local hotel occupancy tax (Texas cities may levy up to 7%), and Harris County lodging taxes of approximately 2% plus a potential sports-authority levy are common in this area, but Humble’s specific local rate was not verified from a primary source.
Investors should confirm directly with the City of Humble Finance Department and the building or permitting office before operating, as small Texas cities frequently adjust STR rules with limited public indexing. There is no confirmed maximum-nights cap, owner-occupancy requirement, or primary-residence requirement.
Market Comparison
Humble’s April 2026 occupancy of 51.6% is below the US STR market median of approximately 55%, partly reflecting the April measurement month and the market’s softer 2026 occupancy trend (down 7.83 percentage points year-over-year). ADR of $159 is meaningfully below the national median of approximately $220, consistent with Humble’s lower price point as a non-destination suburban market.
The key investor story here is the yield differential: with a typical home value of $255,578 and implied gross yield of approximately 11.5%, Humble offers a higher yield than most coastal or mountain resort markets where ADR is higher but property prices are proportionally much higher.
Phillip Houston Property Manager leads with 439 listings and 17,180 reviews (rating 4.51). Evolve ranks second at 358 listings and 8,378 reviews (rating 4.48). Landing, Inc. holds third at 275 listings (rating 3.85). Landing holds fourth at 243 listings (rating 3.42). Lodgeur rounds out the top five at 142 listings and 2,162 reviews (rating 4.77). The top-5 operators combined account for 1,457 listings, approximately 5.6% of the roughly 26,122-listing market, making this a highly fragmented market dominated by independent operators.
