Short Term Rental Galveston, Texas

[Leslie Lawrence]

Hello Everyone! 

I am looking to invest in a STR in Galveston, Texas. I have been reading many of the current forums on here and have been able to answer many of my own question by reading and following along. However, I was not able to find out what type of (if any) licenses' I will need to obtain in order to operate a STR business in Galveston. I read that Texas does not require a General Business License. Do I need to obtain a Short Term Rental License? Obtain any sort of certificates to appease the county and state? Any help and or guidance would be truly appreciated. Thank you!
