Airbnb in Tangier: what are the owner’s legal obligations?
Letting short-term in Tangier involves four main obligations: declaring the activity, keeping a police form for every guest, collecting the municipal tourist tax, and declaring rental income. Insurance covering rental use is also essential.
The guest police form
Every guest must be registered and declared to the local authorities with their identity document details. It is a host obligation, and the first thing an inspection checks. Under delegated management, it is completed at each arrival by the team welcoming the guest.
The tourist tax
The municipal tourist tax is due per night and per person: it is collected from the guest and remitted to the municipality. It must appear clearly in the stay invoice to avoid any dispute.
Tax and insurance
Furnished rental income must be declared, and the applicable regime depends on your status and volume of activity. Check two frequently forgotten points: that your policy covers short-term rental use, and that the building rules do not prohibit seasonal letting.
What we handle
Guest forms and their transmission at each arrival, tourist tax collection, the stay register, and monthly documentation for your accountant. Ownership, tax filing and insurance stay in your name. This article is informational and is not legal advice.
