Pause in STR Licensing and Tax Payments Before New System Launch

Austin Development Services is preparing to launch a new system that will make it easier to manage your short-term rental license(s), renewals, and payments.   

We plan to launch the new Short-Term Rental licensing system in December. In preparation for the switch, from Nov. 16 through Dec. 3, we will temporarily stop processing new STR licenses and renewals and Hotel Occupancy Tax (HOT) payments.  This will allow us to ensure the data transferred to the new system is complete.   

If your current STR license expires during this period, it will be extended until the new system is live.  

Thank you for your patience while we prepare for launch. We are excited about the upcoming improvement, which will make this process much simpler for everyone. We look forward to sharing it with you next month!
