However, municipal rules apply within incorporated areas: La Grange requires a 7% Hotel Occupancy Tax (HOT) for STRs, and Round Top permits 'vacation rentals' and small bed-and-breakfasts in specific zoning districts (District R). Operators should still verify HOA rules, state-level requirements, and any tax-collection obligations. See the official source linked on this page for full requirements. Last verified 2026-05-14.
