Mcallen Regulations

STRs are allowed citywide in residential zones with a simple annual $100/unit registration and no cap, but require a 24/7 local contact able to respond in person within one hour, monthly city and state hotel tax reporting, safety devices, and good-neighbor compliance, which adds moderate burden but remains manageable for investors.
