Hotel Occupancy Tax
Hotel Occupancy Tax (HOT) is collected for short-term rental stays of less than 30 consecutive days which includes Hotel/Motel stays, and residential rental units, i.e., house, condo, apartment and bedroom stays.
Online Reporting & Paying Service
In an effort to make things more convenient for HOT clients, the City of Balcones Heights contracted with Avenu to provide customers with an online system for reporting and paying taxes on a monthly basis.
