View Austin market analysis →The Surge Take: Hutto
Hutto scores 70.6/100 on Surge's STR market score, ranking #27 of 46 Austin-area submarkets we track. That's mid-pack for the Austin market: not a headline submarket, but often where value hides — mid-tier areas typically have lower acquisition costs and less STR competition than the trophy neighborhoods. The average listing here grosses $31,195/year — about 31% below the Austin metro average, so unit selection and design matter more than usual.
The revenue profile is a $167 average daily rate at 65% occupancy (RevPAR $86). 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.
On the regulatory side, Hutto falls under City of Hutto, which is currently permissive: No STR permit or ordinance; 7% city HOT applies to rentals under 30 days. Low regulatory friction is a real advantage — just verify HOA and deed restrictions, which apply regardless of city or county rules.

PermissiveJurisdiction: City of Hutto · Last verified 2026-08-12
No STR permit or ordinance; 7% city HOT applies to rentals under 30 days
Hutto has no STR-specific permitting or zoning ordinance. The city levies a 7% hotel occupancy tax that expressly covers short-term rentals (Code of Ordinances Sec. 11.04), so operators must register for and remit city HOT plus the 6% state HOT. Otherwise, standard building, nuisance, and zoning codes apply, and HOA/deed restrictions are the main practical constraint.
