Corpus Christi requires registration of any property rented for less than 30 consecutive days. STRs are allowed in single-family residential districts citywide except within the Padre/Mustang Island Area Development Plan area. Type 1 (owner-occupied) STRs are allowed without restrictions, while Type 2 (non-owner-occupied) STRs are limited to 15% of the block face on a first-come, first-served basis.
Licensing and Permits
Corpus Christi requires hosts to obtain an STR license or permit before listing their property on platforms like Airbnb or VRBO. An inspection is required as part of the permitting process.
