Johnson City Regulations
STRs are clearly allowed for single-family dwellings, with a straightforward $100 one-time registration and 10-day permit issuance, no caps or zone limits, and a supportive tone compared to stricter peers like Austin; however, compliance includes quarterly HOT, mandatory 24/7 local contact with a 1‑hour in‑person response, strict posting and advertising requirements, and significant penalties (up to $2,000 for safety/health violations), raising operational burden.
