Market Score Breakdown
Five dimensions StaySTRA evaluates per market.
Market Overview
Schertz has no short-term-rental-specific ordinance. The city’s Unified Development Code doesn’t separately list, prohibit, or regulate vacation rentals; as of mid-2026, an operator can run an Airbnb or VRBO in Schertz without a dedicated local STR permit, though the city recommends confirming with Planning & Zoning since rules could change. Schertz is a San Antonio suburb across Guadalupe, Bexar, and Comal counties along the I-35 corridor, not a standalone tourism destination; most lodging demand is drive-through and business travel tied to San Antonio, Randolph Air Force Base, and nearby New Braunfels attractions. Population is 43,918.

Short-Term Rental Regulations
As of mid-2026, the City of Schertz has not adopted a short-term-rental-specific ordinance. There is no STR registration, permit, or license requirement published on the city website, in the Planning & Zoning FAQs, or in the Unified Development Code, and the city’s UDC Permitted Use Table doesn’t separately list vacation or short-term rentals. In practice, an investor can operate an Airbnb or VRBO in Schertz without a dedicated local STR permit, though the city recommends confirming with Planning & Zoning (210-619-1780) since it could adopt rules in the future.
Taxes still apply: Texas imposes a mandatory 6% state hotel occupancy tax on stays under 30 days, remitted to the Texas Comptroller. The City of Schertz also imposes a 7% municipal hotel occupancy tax, for a combined effective hotel occupancy tax of 13% on short-term stays.
Enforcement of any STR-specific rules is effectively minimal because no such rules exist; standard code enforcement (noise, occupancy, parking, nuisance) still applies. Investors should treat Schertz as a light-regulation, tax-only environment today, while monitoring for future ordinance changes as neighboring San Antonio-area cities tighten STR rules.
Market Comparison
The San Antonio area STR market’s June 2026 occupancy of 64.8% runs above the commonly cited US STR median of roughly 55%, while its $222.02 blended ADR sits about level with the roughly $220 US median; its luxury tier ($479.09) is more than double the national ADR benchmark.
Top-property-manager data is not currently published uniquely for Schertz in this snapshot (tracked at a shared regional level with Bulverde instead), so this profile omits a named-operator comparison.
