Fort Worth Market Overview for Airbnb Investors

Mixed-use and most form-based districts, commercial and industrial districts with a Certificate of Occupancy from the Development Services Department. They are not allowed in residential districts, such as single-family, two-family and multi-family areas.

1. Current Ordinance - the city will require a zoning change for STRs in residential zoning to PD Planned Development, mixed-use or commercial zoning.
2. Treat owner-occupied STRs as Bed and Breakfast Homes. This would require a conditional use permit with a 5 year limit. Not allowed in single-family zoning but would be allowed in 2-family and multi-family with a 400 ft. seperation.

3. Allow owner-occupied STRs by conditional use permit in all residential districts up to 5%-10% of block or multifamily building. Continue to require zoning change for all others.

4. Allow owner-occupied STRs by right in certain neighborhoods or citywide, up to 5-10% of block or multifamily building and fewer than 30 booking nights per year. Require a conditional use permit or zoning change for all others.

It is too early currently to know which of the four they will decide but we will update this page as soon as we have additional information!
