Killeen Regulations
Killeen explicitly permits STRs and has a mature, transparent framework—no caps or zoning limits—but it does require a $200 permit, $100 renewal, liability insurance ($500k minimum), annual safety inspections, and mandatory monthly tax filings with no grandfathering for existing operators. The moderate fees, annual renewals, and monthly compliance make compliance predictable but not negligible, keeping it in the friendly/challenging middle.
