Short-term rentals (STRs), known locally as "alquileres a corto plazo," are legal in Naguabo Municipality, Puerto Rico, with specific regulations enforced by the Puerto Rico Tourism Company (PRTC). Property owners must obtain a registration and a use permit, and comply with local safety standards. The regulatory framework allows properties to be rented short-term, with restrictions that limit structures to a maximum of six units. The market primarily caters to tourists seeking beach access and immersive experiences in nature, as the area is known for its natural beauty, including the nearby coastal regions and waterfalls. Popular types of STRs include apartments and homes near the coast, as well as cabins in rural settings that attract eco-tourists. The local government aims to balance tourism growth with community needs, and rental operators are required to collect a 7% occupancy tax.
