Short-term rentals (STRs), referred to locally as "alojamiento a corto plazo," are legal in Humacao Municipality, Puerto Rico, and are subject to regulatory oversight from the Puerto Rico Tourism Company and local authorities. Property owners must comply with specific requirements, including obtaining a merchant registration, a use permit, and registering as an innkeeper. STRs can include a variety of properties, thriving in both rural settings with cabins and urban areas with apartments, catering primarily to tourists seeking leisure activities and local attractions, particularly along the coast. The market environment is vibrant, bolstered by tourism; however, business travelers also contribute to occupancy rates. The area sees consistent demand for accommodations, supported by a 7% occupancy tax levied on rentals. For more information on regulations, visit the Puerto Rico Tourism Company's official website at.
