All short-term rentals in Wimberley must obtain a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) approved by City Council, as STRs are not a permitted use in any zoning district. STRs are categorized as STR 1 (owner lives on property) or STR 2 (owner does not reside on property). The CUP requires public hearings, neighbor notification within 200 feet, and remains attached to the property indefinitely once approved.
