San Antonio's Board of Adjustment has decided to postpone a critical vote regarding a short-term rental permit after concerns were raised about potential illegal activities by the property owner. During the meeting on June 16, 2025, a caller presented evidence suggesting that the property in question has been operating as a short-term rental without the necessary permits since 2022. The caller claimed that the owner has accumulated numerous reviews and listings across multiple platforms, including Airbnb and Vrbo, while allegedly failing to pay the appropriate hotel occupancy taxes.

The Board acknowledged the caller's concerns, particularly regarding the absence of a valid permit number on the rental listings. City staff confirmed that they are actively working to identify and notify platforms of listings lacking proper permits, but some may have been overlooked.

Commissioner Manna expressed hesitation in voting on the permit without further information from the neighborhood association, suggesting a continuance to gather more input. The Board unanimously agreed to postpone the decision until their next meeting on July 7, allowing time for the necessary communication and documentation to be reviewed.

This decision underscores the Board's commitment to ensuring compliance with local regulations and addressing community concerns regarding short-term rentals. The upcoming meeting will be crucial in determining the future of the property and its operations.
