Short-Term Rentals
On October 22, 2024, the City of Denton City Council considered and approved amendments to the Denton Development Code (DDC) regarding Short-Term Rentals. Short-Term Rentals are defined as the rental of an entire dwelling unit or bedroom for monetary consideration for a period of time not less than 24 hours and not more than 29 consecutive days, not including a bed and breakfast, boarding or rooming house, hotel or motel.
The new regulations clarify several definitions and requirements related to Short-Term Rentals, including types of dwelling units that may be rented and parking requirements. Additionally, the number of zoning districts allowing short-term rentals was expanded to include any zoning district which allows residential uses and additional requirements were placed on short-term rentals in residential zoning districts and multifamily developments. These code amendments are effective January 1, 2025.
