View Austin market analysis →The Surge Take: Round Rock
Round Rock scores 85.5/100 on Surge's STR market score, ranking #14 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 Round Rock performs across the board. The average listing here grosses $40,594/year — about 11% below the Austin metro average, so unit selection and design matter more than usual.
The revenue profile is a $204 average daily rate at 63% occupancy (RevPAR $111). 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, Round Rock falls under City of Round Rock, which allows short-term rentals with compliance requirements — Light-touch annual registration ($35 initial / $25 renewal) with 9% combined city HOT. Registration-style regimes are manageable and tend to thin out casual competition, which can favor professional operators.

Light-touch annual registration ($35 initial / $25 renewal) with 9% combined city HOT
Round Rock requires every short-term rental to register annually with the city — a low-cost program ($35 initial application, $25 renewal due before January 1 each year) tied to hotel occupancy tax compliance. STRs pay a combined 9% local tax (7% HOT + 2% venue tax) on monthly net receipts, filed monthly even with no activity. There are no zoning restrictions, density caps, or owner-occupancy rules; advertising without registration violates the city code.
