The Surge Take: Liberty Hill

Liberty Hill scores 78.3/100 on Surge's STR market score, ranking #20 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 $28,242/year — about 37% below the Austin metro average, so unit selection and design matter more than usual.

The revenue profile is a $184 average daily rate at 49% occupancy (RevPAR $77). 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, Liberty Hill falls under City of Liberty Hill, which is currently permissive: No STR permit; city began collecting 7% HOT from STRs in July 2024. Low regulatory friction is a real advantage — just verify HOA and deed restrictions, which apply regardless of city or county rules.

Liberty Hill STR Regulations

Permissive

Jurisdiction: City of Liberty Hill · Last verified 2026-08-12

No STR permit; city began collecting 7% HOT from STRs in July 2024

Liberty Hill has no STR permitting or zoning ordinance. In July 2024 the city council adopted an ordinance authorizing collection of a 7% hotel occupancy tax from hotels, B&Bs, and short-term rental operators — the city's first STR-relevant regulation. Beyond HOT compliance and general city codes, STRs operate freely; the city's 2025 UDC rewrite is worth monitoring for future STR provisions.

What operators need to know
  • No city STR permit or registration
  • 7% city HOT (adopted July 2024) + 6% state HOT
  • Monitor the 2025 UDC rewrite for possible future STR rules
  • Check HOA/deed restrictions
Hotel Occupancy Tax
7% city + 6% state = 13% combined

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