View Austin market analysis →The Surge Take: Taylor
Taylor scores 88.2/100 on Surge's STR market score, ranking #7 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 Taylor performs across the board. The average listing here grosses $25,121/year — about 44% below the Austin metro average, so unit selection and design matter more than usual.
The revenue profile is a $159 average daily rate at 54% occupancy (RevPAR $69). 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.
The key caveat is regulation: City of Taylor restricts short-term rentals — STRs require a Special Use Permit plus city registration and monthly HOT. Parcel-level due diligence is essential here; confirm the specific property is eligible before underwriting STR income.

Taylor STR Regulations
RestrictedJurisdiction: City of Taylor · Last verified 2026-08-12
STRs require a Special Use Permit plus city registration and monthly HOT
Taylor requires STR operators to register with the city via an 'Intent to Rent Accommodations' form, remit 7% city HOT monthly (due by the 20th, filed even with no activity), and — significantly — obtain a Special Use Permit through Development Services. The SUP is a discretionary zoning approval, making Taylor more restrictive than registration-only suburbs. The city's HOT authority extends into its ETJ under Ordinance 2010-8.
- •Special Use Permit required through Development Services
- •Intent to Rent Accommodations form filed with the city
- •7% city HOT remitted monthly by the 20th (file even with zero activity)
- •6% state HOT via Texas Comptroller
- •City HOT applies in city limits and ETJ
HOA covenants and deed restrictions can prohibit short-term rentals regardless of City of Taylor rules — always review them before purchasing. Surge handles permitting, registration, and Hotel Occupancy Tax compliance for every property we manage.
