Generally Investor friendly
West and McLennan County lack city/county STR permits or caps, keeping entry simple and predictable; operations rely on standard residential zoning, health/safety, and nuisance rules. The biggest friction is the mandatory monthly Hotel Occupancy Tax compliance, which adds administrative cost but is a known process. Investors should still check HOA/deed restrictions and local add‑on taxes.
