Can you BnB it in Farmersville?
No STR ordinanceFarmersville has no short-term rental ordinance: neither its business regulation title nor its zoning title mentions short-term rentals, vacation rentals or home sharing, and the residential land use table lists no transient lodging use. The city also has no transient occupancy tax chapter, so short stays are not separately taxed by the city.
