Only about 200 — or 10% — of the addresses registered with Dallas are located in zones where the city already permits STRs, according to The Dallas Morning...
Jeff Veazey, 68, rents out a small STR attached to his home in a single-family neighborhood in Old Lake Highlands with his wife. Veazey said the income generated from the apartment formed a key part of their retirement plans. The ban has caused them to rethink keeping their home and their plans for the future, something which has caused the couple “a huge amount of turmoil.”
Inside Airbnb, an activist organization tracking the platform’s units around the world, says Dallas could actually have more than 5,300 short-term rentals as of June.In that scenario, about 2,900 properties would be within STR-permitted districts or districts labeled for “planned development” or “conservation development.” The other 2,400 listings could potentially be banned from operation.
The city document also revealed that about half of all STRs exist within just five city zip codes, and that just eight entities account for about 100 registered STRs in Dallas. “What’s important is that they need to allow short-term terminals to operate, because people are going to do them even with a ban,” McGehee said. “At the end of the day, people don’t want to just stay in hotels only.”
