View Dallas market analysis →The Surge Take: Irving
Irving scores 75.5/100 on Surge's STR market score, ranking #30 of 55 Dallas-area submarkets we track. That's mid-pack for the Dallas 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 $36,613/year — about 8% below the Dallas metro average, so unit selection and design matter more than usual.
The revenue profile is a $197 average daily rate at 62% occupancy (RevPAR $100). 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: Irving restricts short-term rentals — New single-family STRs need a CUP; $1,000 registration and mandatory inspection from Oct 1, 2026. Parcel-level due diligence is essential here; confirm the specific property is eligible before underwriting STR income.

New single-family STRs need a CUP; $1,000 registration and mandatory inspection from Oct 1, 2026
Irving requires annual registration for all STRs under Ch. 8, Art. XI (in effect since October 2022, amended by ORD-2026-11269). Effective July 31, 2026, new STRs in single-family homes and townhomes in most residential districts need a Conditional Use Permit, generally at least 4 off-street parking spaces (1 per bedroom above 4) and must not push a block face above 10% STRs. Existing STRs in those homes are legal nonconforming uses only while their registration stays current; an expired registration means a new application under all current standards. On September 24, 2026 the City Council required an on-site inspection before every new or renewed registration, and from October 1, 2026 the registration fee is $1,000 (non-refundable). A failed inspection gets one correction and reinspection; failing again denies the registration and bars reapplying for 12 months. Multifamily and commercial-zone STRs skip the CUP but still register and get inspected. HOT is 7% city + 6% state.
