The Surge Take: Cedar Hill

Cedar Hill scores 41.5/100 on Surge's STR market score, ranking #54 of 55 Dallas-area submarkets we track. That's in the lower tier of the Dallas market on our score, which usually reflects thinner guest demand. Deals here need to be underwritten conservatively — the entry price has to do the heavy lifting. The average listing here grosses $43,702/year — about 11% below the Dallas metro average, so unit selection and design matter more than usual.

The revenue profile is a $262 average daily rate at 52% occupancy (RevPAR $120). That ADR sits at the premium end, which rewards larger, well-designed properties that photograph well and sleep groups. As a suburban submarket, demand skews toward families, relocations, and medical or project stays — larger homes tend to outperform.

Regulation-wise, Cedar Hill falls under Cedar Hill, which allows short-term rentals with compliance requirements — STRs allowed but require annual rental registration + RRCO at each guest turnover. Registration-style regimes are manageable and tend to thin out casual competition, which can favor professional operators.

Cedar Hill STR Regulations

Regulated

Jurisdiction: Cedar Hill · Last verified 2026-07-14

STRs allowed but require annual rental registration + RRCO at each guest turnover

Cedar Hill allows STRs under its Single-Family Rental Registration Ordinance (No. 2020-714, effective Jan 2021). Owners must register annually ($50 initial / $25 renewal) and obtain a Residential Rental Certificate of Occupancy ($25) before each new guest occupancy, triggering an exterior inspection. No night caps, minimum stay, or owner-occupancy requirement; no standalone STR permit beyond the rental registration program. Total HOT is 13% (7% city + 6% state).

What operators need to know
  • Annual Single-Family Rental Registration: $50 initial, $25 renewal, $75 late
  • Residential Rental Certificate of Occupancy (RRCO) at each tenant/guest change: $25
  • Exterior inspection within 30 days of each RRCO
  • Submit registration via email to code@cedarhilltx.com
  • Collect & remit 7% city HOT (via MuniServices) + 6% state HOT monthly by 20th of following month
  • No night cap, no minimum stay, no owner-occupancy requirement
  • Violations = Class C misdemeanor, up to $500/day
Hotel Occupancy Tax
7% city + 6% state = 13% total

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