Primary residence: you may rent a primary residence as a furnished vacation rental for up to 90 nights per year. Exceeding that limit can draw a fine of up to €10,000 per year of exceedance.
Second home / non-primary: renting without the required change-of-use authorization can draw a fine of up to €100,000 (plus daily penalties until compliance, per city guidance).
Registration: a municipal registration number is required and must appear on listings.
What operators should file
- Confirm primary vs non-primary track before listing.
- Complete online vacation-rental registration and display the number.
- For non-primary stock: change-of-use / compensation path before day one of rental.
- Visitor’s tax obligations still apply.
