Florida Property Management Companies Expanding into Texas

Florida property management operators — particularly those managing SFR and multi-family portfolios in Miami, Tampa, and Orlando — are looking to Texas as a complementary market. Both states are landlord-friendly with no state income tax, but Texas requires a TREC-licensed designated broker for all property management activity.

What Florida PM Companies Need to Operate in Texas

Texas does not recognize reciprocal licenses for property management. Every out-of-state PM company must complete these steps before managing a single Texas property.

01

Register a Texas Entity

Form a Texas LLC or corporation with the Texas Secretary of State. Your home-state entity cannot directly operate in Texas without a registered Texas entity.

02

Obtain a Texas Real Estate License

The designated officer or managing member of your Texas entity must obtain a TREC real estate license. This process typically takes 60–90 days.

03

Secure a Designated Broker

Your Texas entity must be sponsored by a TREC-licensed designated broker. Texas Broker Sponsor™ provides this through PM Accelerator™ or PM Multi-family Enterprise™.
