Texas rental market for DSCR investors: rent, taxes and insurance by county

What a rental in Texas rents for, what it costs to carry, and whether it stays rented, from official data for all 254 counties. Read it before you price a deal here.

Texas at a glance

What does a rental rent for?

$1,497 a month

HUD's FY2027 2-bedroom Fair Market Rent where most of Texas's renters live, from $1,014 (Starr County) to $1,817 (Caldwell County). It is the government figure for a modest 2-bedroom unit, utilities included, not the rent for a house.

What will property taxes cost?

1.49% of value a year

Homeowners in Texas pay a median $4,232 a year on a median home value of $283,800 (Census ACS 2020–2024). A rental can be taxed at a different rate than an owner's home; the local tax bill is the real number.

What will insurance cost?

$1,860 a year

The median that homeowners with a mortgage in Texas report paying for homeowners insurance (Census ACS 2020–2024). It is not a landlord quote: a rental policy usually costs more, and flood cover is extra.

Will it stay rented?

7.7% rental vacancy

Share of Texas's rental homes vacant and for rent (Census ACS 2020–2024), across 4,113,561 renter households. Lower means rentals fill faster.

Are jobs growing?

Employment up 0.3% in a year

Employed residents in August 2026 against a year earlier; unemployment 4.6% (BLS, not seasonally adjusted, so compare the same month a year apart).

Is new supply coming?

210,217 homes permitted in 2025

About 19.1 new homes per 1,000 households; 67% single-family (Census Building Permits Survey). More new homes means more competition for tenants and buyers.

How often does it flood?

226,600 flood claims since 2005

National Flood Insurance Program claims on properties in Texas since 2005, $14.7 billion paid (FEMA). Claims show where water has reached insured buildings; they are not a flood map, so check the FEMA flood zone for the address.

What it means for a DSCR rental in Texas

A lender's DSCR is the monthly rent divided by the full monthly payment: principal, interest, property taxes, insurance and any HOA dues. Many lenders accept 1.00x; 1.20x leaves a cushion.

Take a home at Texas's median value of $283,800, bought with 25% down on a 7.5% 30-year loan, with the state's typical tax rate and insurance:

Principal and interest ($212,850 loan)
$1,488
Property taxes
$352
Insurance
$155
Full monthly payment
$1,996
Rent for a 1.20x DSCR
$2,390 a month

The government 2-bedroom figure where most of Texas's renters live is $1,497 a month, below the $2,390 that home needs. A house usually rents for more than a 2-bedroom unit, so price the house you are looking at with its own rent. The last column of the table below gives the same figure for each county.

Rules and costs a landlord faces in Texas

Each line quotes the official source it comes from and the date it was last checked. These are general rules, not legal advice; local rules can add to them.

How long before you can file to evict for unpaid rent?

3 calendar days' notice for unpaid rent before an eviction can be filed.

If the occupant is a tenant under a written lease or oral rental agreement, the landlord must give a tenant who defaults or holds over beyond the end of the rental term or renewal period at least three days' written notice to vacate the premises before the landlord files a forcible detainer suit

What does the state charge to record a purchase?

No state transfer tax on a purchase.

Is a rental taxed like the owner's home?

A rental does not get the owner's homestead benefit; non-homestead assessments are capped at 20 percent.

CIRCUIT BREAKER LIMITATION ON APPRAISED VALUE OF REAL PROPERTY OTHER THAN RESIDENCE HOMESTEAD. ... This section does not apply to: (1) a residence homestead that qualifies for an exemption under Section 11.13; ... 20 percent of the appraised value of the property for the preceding tax year

Texas Legislature, checked October 18, 2026

Where these numbers come from

2-bedroom Fair Market Rent
HUD's FY2027 Fair Market Rents, in effect from October 1, 2026: the rent and utilities of a modest 2-bedroom unit, set for housing vouchers. It is not a house rent. Where HUD publishes by town (New England), the county shows the range. HUD Fair Market Rents
Property tax, insurance, vacancy and home value
Census American Community Survey 5-year estimates, 2020–2024. Property tax is the median tax paid divided by the median home value of owner-occupied homes. Insurance is the median that owners with a mortgage report paying, not a landlord quote. Rental vacancy is homes vacant for rent divided by all rental homes. Figures from too few homes are left blank. American Community Survey
Jobs
BLS Local Area Unemployment Statistics: employed residents in August 2026 against the same month a year earlier, not seasonally adjusted. BLS LAUS
Permits
Census Building Permits Survey: new housing units authorized in 2025, all building sizes. Building Permits Survey
Flood claims
FEMA National Flood Insurance Program claims with a loss in 2005 or later, and the net amount paid. Only insured buildings appear. Check a flood zone

These are screening figures for comparing places, not a quote, an appraisal or a loan offer. Texas total flood payments since 2005: $14.7 billion.
