View Houston market analysis →The Surge Take: Rosharon
Rosharon scores 73.3/100 on Surge's STR market score, ranking #14 of 53 Houston-area submarkets we track. That puts it in the top tier of the Houston market — the score blends guest demand drivers, proximity to attractions and employers, and property fundamentals, and Rosharon performs across the board. The average listing here grosses $22,878/year — about 33% below the Houston metro average, so unit selection and design matter more than usual.
The revenue profile is a $171 average daily rate at 47% occupancy (RevPAR $63). 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.
On the regulatory side, Rosharon falls under Unincorporated Brazoria County, which is currently permissive: No county zoning or STR rules under Texas law; HOA/deed restrictions are the main constraint. Low regulatory friction is a real advantage — just verify HOA and deed restrictions, which apply regardless of city or county rules.

No county zoning or STR rules under Texas law; HOA/deed restrictions are the main constraint
Like all Texas counties, Brazoria County has no residential zoning authority and therefore cannot ban or restrict STRs in unincorporated areas through county ordinance. No Brazoria County STR registration program was identified. State HOT (6%) applies. Brazoria County may collect its own HOT in unincorporated areas. Cities within Brazoria County (Angleton, Alvin) have their own rules that apply only within city limits. HOA and deed restrictions remain the primary practical constraint.

HOA covenants and deed restrictions can prohibit short-term rentals regardless of Unincorporated Brazoria County rules — always review them before purchasing. Surge handles permitting, registration, and lodging tax compliance for every property we manage.
