I was just wondering if anyone else might have run into a snag while using Airbnb.  Recently I saw a news article about a women who was doing the Airbnb for a room in her house.  Turned out later that the city fined her some outrageous money for doing so.  I recently acquired my very first property and had every intention to make it a rental but my husband and I put it on Airbnb to see if we got any bites and we did in just one hour.  It has been working out very well for us but after this article ran I started getting nervous.  I called the tax and state comptroller and was told I didn't need anything to operate but is there any way to find out for sure in writing if I need anything to operate an airbnb home in San Antonio, Texas?
