Short-Term Rental Regulations
in Fulton, TX

Airbnbs are effectively legal in Fulton, TX because there are no specific short-term rental regulations on the books. No official local municipal STR regulations were found after searching city and county sources. However, short-term rentals are subject to a 7% Town Hotel/Motel Occupancy Tax for stays under 30 days, and properties in unincorporated Aransas County must meet specific infrastructure and site development standards. 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.
