Houston, Texas short-term rental owner list
PermitPulse holds 2,034 Houston permits from the Texas hotel-occupancy-tax permit roll (refreshed 2026-10-08). None of the Houston records carry a phone or email, because the register does not publish contact details; what you get is the permit holder name, the property address and the permit detail for every one.
Counts refreshed 2026-10-08 from the live database. Houston is part of the Texas file; filter to it at export.
The Houston file in numbers
Those 2,034 records are 4.3% of the Texas file, which makes Houston the largest of the 12 Texas cities big enough for a page of their own.
Texas publishes its hotel-tax roll without phone numbers or emails, so none of the 2,034 Houston permits have one. Each Houston record does carry the business name on the permit, the property address and ZIP, and the NAICS code it was filed under.
The NAICS code on each permit separates the rentals from the hotels: 815 of the 2,034 Houston permits are filed under 531110 (lessors of residential buildings) and 1,000 under 721110 (hotels and motels). That 49% hotel share is high next to 24% for Texas as a whole, so filter on the permit type at export if you only want residential rentals. Another 76 permits are filed by residential property managers (531311).
The Houston records spread across 115 ZIP codes; the largest, 77004, has 95 of them (5%).
541 of the Houston records (27%) carry a name that appears on two or more different Texas property addresses, above the state figure of 24%. 326 sit under names with ten or more properties, which in practice means management companies and larger investors; the biggest single name holds 342 Texas addresses.
The register dates 2,034 of the Houston records; 217 were dated in the last 12 months, and the busiest year on record was 2022 with 242. 184 so far in 2026.
Dropping the 1,000 hotel and motel permits leaves 1,034 Houston records to mail or skip-trace, 95 of them in ZIP 77004.
