Mayor John Whitmire proposed a $7 billion budget Tuesday for fiscal year 2026, closing a projected $220 million deficit without implementing new fees or taxes for residents. The proposal pulls $3.03 billion from Houston’s general fund, with roughly 58 percent of that going toward the police and fire departments, in line with an approved contract with the firefighters union and a proposed contract with the police union.

Houston joined cities across the country Wednesday in regulating the growing short term rental industry after months of debate and compromise between rental owners and their discontented neighbors. Starting Jan. 1, all houses and apartments rented out for fewer than 30 days must be registered with the city’s Administration and Regulatory Affairs Department for an annual fee of $275 per unit.

Houston employees used city-issued credit cards to buy more than $41 million worth of goods in the past two years, but failed to document what was purchased in more than half of those transactions. In tens of thousands of cases, employees failed to include any description of what they purchased. In others, employees simply used “product” or even “generic product” to describe what they bought.

Proposed regulations for Houston short-term rentals continue to be a set of compromises, and neither residents nor owners are satisfied. City officials last year began considering a short-term rental ordinance for units rented for fewer than 30 days following complaints from neighborhoods about disruptive renters that make excessive noise, limit parking and create unsafe environments.
