Short-Term Rental Regulations
Short-term rentals are legal in Irving and must be registered annually with the city under Chapter 8, Article XI of the Code of Ordinances. A short-term rental is defined as any residential structure or portion thereof rented for fewer than 30 consecutive days. Operators must obtain a Certificate of Registration through the city’s online portal and pay a $200 annual fee, with renewal due by October 1 each year.
Each STR must designate a local responsible agent (at least 21 years old) capable of responding to issues at the property within one hour. There is no owner-occupancy or primary-residence requirement; non-owner registrants must provide a signed owner acknowledgment permitting STR operation. There is no annual night cap. Material changes to registration must be reported to the city within seven days.
Guests pay a combined 13% in lodging taxes: Irving’s 7% local Hotel Occupancy Tax plus the 6% Texas state Hotel Occupancy Tax. Airbnb and VRBO typically collect the Texas state HOT; hosts remain responsible for the city’s 7% local portion. STRs may not be advertised or operated as event centers, rental halls, or other commercial-assembly uses not permitted in residential zones. Code Enforcement monitors compliance and responds to complaints.
Market Comparison
Irving’s 60.0% occupancy in April 2026 exceeds the national STR median of approximately 55%, a notable achievement in a large urban market. ADR of $172 is below the national median of approximately $220, consistent with the market’s corporate-transient demand profile where negotiated rates and price-sensitive business travelers set the ceiling.
The management landscape is large but fragmented. Evolve leads with 236 listings and 5,915 reviews (rating 4.41). Landing, Inc. follows with 196 listings and 238 reviews (rating 4.36), and Landing (a separate entry) holds 169 listings with 7 reviews. Luxora ranks fourth with 124 listings and 4,413 reviews (rating 4.36), followed by Properties By Preston with 109 listings (rating 3.61). The top five operators together manage 834 listings, about 4.3% of the roughly 19,500-listing market. Irving’s management landscape is heavily self-managed, which is common in large urban STR markets where individual investors hold 1- and 2-bedroom apartment units.
