Austin, TX, 4 hours ago — As it considers regulating short-term rentals (STRs), the City of Fort Worth held two public engagement meetings last week to allow the public to learn more about its proposals, ask questions, and offer feedback. The city defines STRs as 'residential properties available for rent for guest lodging for a period ranging from one to 29 days,' assistant city manager Dana Burghdoff said. Currently, Fort Worth does not allow any STRs to operate within residential zoning districts, she explained, however, the city knows they are operating there illegally.
