Aransas Pass, TX

Aransas Pass Regulations

Aransas Pass is challenging because STRs are limited to specific zones (NS/SC for Tourist Court & Cottages ≤9 units, Hotel/Motel ≥10 rooms elsewhere) with no dedicated STR ordinance or registration program, creating high permitting and compliance uncertainty for single-family STRs. The need to rely on business licensing, building/fire code compliance, and zoning approvals without clear citywide rules and known occupancy tax details increases investor risk.
