Short-Term Rental Regulations
Short-term rentals are permitted in Lewisville with a permit, and enforcement is rated strict. The city adopted its STR regulations on January 8, 2024, effective July 8, 2024. Any dwelling rented for fewer than 30 consecutive days needs a Short-Term Rental Unit permit before it is advertised or rented. The permit costs $400 per unit and renews annually.
The city caps active permits at 150 citywide. The cap was first set at 130 and raised to 150 in 2025, and applications close once active permits plus pending applications reach 150. Density rules took effect October 20, 2025: STRs in a standalone home or duplex must be 1,000 feet from other such STRs, and STRs in multi-unit buildings are limited to 3% of units or 2 units, whichever is greater. The city chose operating rules over zoning bans, so no district is prohibited outright.
Owners must designate a property manager reachable by phone or in person within 15 minutes whenever guests are present, and able to be on site within one hour if city staff call. Permits require a passing inspection and $1 million in incident insurance.
Lewisville has no owner-occupancy requirement, no primary-residence requirement and no annual night cap. A 7% city hotel occupancy tax must be reported monthly by the 20th, even for months with no stays, and since January 1, 2026 reporting and payment run through the STR Portal. Fines reach $500 per offense, or $2,000 for fire-safety, zoning or public-health violations.
Market Comparison
Combining occupancy and ADR, revenue per available night in the Dallas-Fort Worth area STR market works out to roughly $103, from 59.5% occupancy and a $173 ADR.
Luxury listings at $287 sit well above the all-listings ADR of $173, which shows the upside for higher-end homes, while entire-home listings at $195 and professionally managed listings at $194 sit closer to it.
Lewisville adds a regulatory layer that many nearby towns may not share: a 150-permit citywide cap, 1,000-foot spacing between standalone-home and duplex STRs, and strict enforcement. For investors, the constraint is access to a permit as much as market performance. Top operator names are tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for Lewisville, so this profile omits them.
