Book a Boerne Property Strategy CallThe City’s current program covers addresses in Boerne city limits and its extraterritorial jurisdiction.
Boerne applies zoning, overlay, and separation rules to short-term rentals. The City’s current STR page describes a 200-foot same-block-face rule in residential zoning and identifies the Historic, Downtown, and River Road overlays for certain commercial-zoning eligibility. Verify the controlling ordinance and measurement for the parcel.
The City’s current program states that a short-term-rental permit is required in Boerne city limits or its ETJ. Obtain address-specific confirmation, then use the current registration portal and verify every required submission.
The City ordinance establishes occupancy, parking, advertising, insurance, event, and temporary-structure controls. Build operating procedures from the issued permit and current ordinance.
The City states that ETJ short-term rentals do not require a City inspection; confirm the parcel location and current rule in writing, then resolve other applicable building, fire, or code issues before operation.
Texas hotel occupancy tax can apply statewide; the applicable local hotel tax depends on whether the property is inside Boerne or another taxing jurisdiction. Confirm City, County, and State registration, filing, marketplace, and direct-booking duties for the address.
Use Kendall Appraisal District records and mapping to compare owner-of-record, assessment, parcel, and improvement information. Appraisal and GIS records do not establish legal title or survey boundaries.
Use Kendall County Clerk records for deeds, liens, easements, and plats; use the responsible City or County office for permit and development history.
Flood, drainage, access, septic, and infrastructure conditions are property-specific. Use City, County, and FEMA resources plus site evidence.
Build the investment case from verified permits, property records, tax duties, and operating costs—not generalized earnings, occupancy, ROI, or neighborhood claims.
