Austin Texas Short Term Rental Permits
Hey BP,
Does anyone know if the city is issuing the non-owner-occupied STR permit, which Austin calls 'Type 2'? I am looking to purchase a property to STR but want to make sure it goes along with current regulations. The city site is not very helpful on how many permits are available or if they are even issuing these anymore. Thanks in advance!

I feel like in the age of the internet forums, people have moved away from more efficient ways of answering questions. Going directly to the source is always the best method to get accurate information.
A quick Google search and I found this ordinance for STR in Austin:
