The Surge Take: Cedar Park

Cedar Park scores 91.7/100 on Surge's STR market score, ranking #2 of 46 Austin-area submarkets we track. That puts it in the top tier of the Austin market — the score blends guest demand drivers, proximity to attractions and employers, and property fundamentals, and Cedar Park performs across the board. The average listing here grosses $36,247/year — about 19% below the Austin metro average, so unit selection and design matter more than usual.

The revenue profile is a $186 average daily rate at 65% occupancy (RevPAR $99). That's a healthy mid-market ADR — the sweet spot for durable demand from both leisure and work travel. As a suburban submarket, demand skews toward families, relocations, and medical or project stays — larger homes tend to outperform.

Regulation-wise, Cedar Park falls under City of Cedar Park, which allows short-term rentals with compliance requirements — Annual $100 STR registration required beginning October 1, 2026. Registration-style regimes are manageable and tend to thin out casual competition, which can favor professional operators.

Cedar Park STR Regulations

Regulated

Jurisdiction: City of Cedar Park · Last verified 2026-08-12

Annual $100 STR registration required beginning October 1, 2026

Cedar Park adopted ordinance 2026-5-OA (April 2026) amending Chapter 4 of its code to require annual registration of all short-term rentals, effective October 1, 2026. The registration fee is $100/year per the amended fee schedule. Before this ordinance, Cedar Park had no STR-specific permitting; the city already levies HOT on rentals under 30 days. This is a registration regime, not a zoning restriction — STRs remain allowed citywide.

What operators need to know
  • Annual STR registration required from October 1, 2026 ($100/year)
  • New registration required each year of operation
  • City hotel occupancy tax registration and remittance
  • General penalty up to $500/day for violations
Hotel Occupancy Tax
7% city + 6% state = 13% combined

HOA covenants and deed restrictions can prohibit short-term rentals regardless of City of Cedar Park rules — always review them before purchasing. Surge handles permitting, registration, and Hotel Occupancy Tax compliance for every property we manage.
