El Paso Texas regulations / policies for Short Term Rentals

[Pedro C.]

Good morning everybody, 

We are exploring Short Term Rentals in El Paso but we are struggling to find anything solid from the City in terms of policies that need to be followed. Last week we visited City Hall and we were told that 1) There isn't any regulations specific to STR's (good) and 2) that "it probably" follows the same process as obtaining a permit for a Bed & Breakfast (not good), which is long and a bit complicated. If that is what we need to do, we'll do it but we are wondering if anybody out there in in the market with STR's and and has figured out how to do it. We'd appreciate any feedback. Thank You!

Pedro
