Wimberley is a small city in Texas located in Hays County. It is known for its natural beauty, including the Blanco River and scenic hill country, and is a popular tourist destination for outdoor recreation and arts & culture. It is also home to unique shopping and dining options, as well as a vibrant artist community. However, purchasing a STR in the city limits of Wimberley is somewhat risky.
Under the STR ordinance adopted August 20, 2026, owner-occupied STRs (STR1) are allowed by right in the C1–C3 commercial districts, while non-owner-occupied STRs (STR2) are no longer allowed in R-3 and still require the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) process in R-2. Unfortunately, you can't go through this process until you own the property. Thus, there is a chance you could buy a property and then not be granted permission to run it as an airbnb.
The CUP process includes:
complete Application
application Fee (non-refundable)
the city notifies those within 200’ of your application, publishes in the local newspaper and posts a sign on the subject tract
Planning & Zoning hearing for recommendation and City Council hearing for the ultimate decision
Per state & local statute, if 20% of property owners within 200' oppose the application a super-majority vote is required by the Planning & Zoning Commission (6 out of 7) and City Council (4 out of 5) for approval.
