Texas Rental inspections
Can the city inspect my rental property in Texas?
No statewide periodic inspection requirement applies to all rentals. A municipality with a population of 1.7 million or more must adopt habitability standards for multi-family rental buildings (three or more units) and run an inspection program for them (Loc. Gov't Code § 214.219). Other local ordinances may apply.
