The San Antonio City Council voted unanimously Thursday to increase the cost of permits for those operating short-term rentals, such as Airbnb and Vrbo properties. Previously, operators only had to pay $100 for a three-year permit to operate a short-term rental. To get a permit, owners also had to show proof of property insurance along with a onsite fire extinguisher and carbon monoxide detectors.
