Employee housing for ranches, plants, and resorts

Crew units and suite units for Texas employers that house staff on site: ranches, food plants, prisons, and resorts. Private rooms and baths, owned by the employer.

Ranches, meat-packing and food plants, prisons, and resorts often need to house employees on or near the property. Crew units and suite units give an employer housing it owns, with private rooms and baths, on a shorter schedule than a site-built building.

Who buys

Owners and HR leaders at ranches, plants, resorts, and other employers.

The housing problem

  • Staff can’t find rentals.
  • Turnover tied to commute and housing.
  • Questions about taxes on employer-provided housing.

Housing is a hiring tool. In tight labor markets, a private room and bath on site often matters to a candidate as much as the last dollar of wage.

Typical unit mix

  • Seasonal staff: 5-bed crew units with private rooms
  • Managers and long-term staff: suite units with private kitchens

Recommended units: 16×76 5-Bed, 5-Bath Crew Unit (Shared Kitchen)16×76 4-Suite Unit (Four Full Kitchens) All models

Timeline

Site work and utilities usually set the schedule. Ask us for current unit lead times.

Rules and compliance

Employer-provided housing can have tax implications for the employee. Housing 3 or more workers may require a TDHCA license.

Common questions

Is employer-provided housing taxable?

Sometimes. Lodging on the business premises for the employer’s convenience, required as a condition of employment, can be excluded under IRC §119. Ask a tax professional.
