The Dallas City Council approved new rules before midnight Wednesday that restrict where short-term rentals can operate and make it mandatory that properties...
“It is time to take decisive action to preserve the quality of life in Dallas neighborhoods and not to delay any longer what our residents tonight and previously have been clamoring for,” said council member Paul Ridley, who was the main council opponent against the spread of short term rentals in the city.
Dallas City Council members Chad West and Adam Bazaldua listened to a discussion about short-term rentals on Wednesday, June 14, 2023. More than 50 public speakers spoke about the rentals. The stricter regulations in Dallas come after debate since at least 2020 on how the city should regulate short-term rentals. Residents have complained for years about the lack of city intervention to address the spread of the rentals in neighborhoods mostly made up of single-family homes and some of the properties being linked to gun violence, trash, noise and other quality of life concerns.
Many Dallas short-term rental property owners and hosts have said they favor more city regulations but have rejected being banned from residential areas over concerns that it’s too heavy-handed. They fear it could mostly impact operators who have no complaints and use the platforms as a source of income.
The city has no rules in place to penalize bad operators. Property owners are supposed to register with the city, but there are no consequences for not doing so. The owners are required to collect taxes from their guests, report monthly and pay the tax to the city.
