Generally Investor friendly
Mesquite explicitly permits STRs citywide with a clear, known process via a digital portal, moderate $150 license fee, annual renewal, and inspections against established IPMC/IRC standards. No caps or zoning prohibitions were noted, and the city’s tone is supportive with defined timelines and guidance; the annual fee and inspection burden are manageable but not negligible, keeping the regime friendly but not very friendly.
