View Dallas market analysis →The Surge Take: Garland
Garland scores 59.3/100 on Surge's STR market score, ranking #42 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 $37,351/year — about 24% below the Dallas metro average, so unit selection and design matter more than usual.
The revenue profile is a $214 average daily rate at 59% occupancy (RevPAR $102). 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, Garland falls under Garland, which allows short-term rentals with compliance requirements — STRs allowed but significantly tightened in Sept 2025: $500 fee, 48-hr minimum stay, annual inspection. Registration-style regimes are manageable and tend to thin out casual competition, which can favor professional operators.

STRs allowed but significantly tightened in Sept 2025: $500 fee, 48-hr minimum stay, annual inspection
Garland allows single-family STRs via a single-family rental permit, but September 2025 regulations (Ord. 7625) dramatically tightened requirements. The annual fee jumped from $65 to $500, a mandatory 48-hour minimum stay was added (rentals under 48 hours are prohibited — notably more restrictive than other cities), and an annual inspection is now required. Owners must provide annual written notice to all adjacent neighbors and post a placard near the front door. HOT is 7% city + 6% state.
