Hosting in the State of Tyrol

This article provides an overview of the local laws and regulations that apply to individuals hosting accommodations in the State of Tyrol. As outlined in our Hosting in Austria guide, it is your responsibility as a host to verify and comply with all relevant obligations. This document serves only as a general reference — it is not exhaustive and does not constitute legal or tax advice. Always confirm that the information, laws, and administrative procedures are current before hosting.

Some of Tyrol’s legal requirements can be complex. If you have questions, contact the Tyrol Tourism Board directly (their website is available in both German and English), or seek guidance from a qualified professional such as an attorney or tax advisor.

General Guidelines in Tyrol

The Tyrolean government offers an overview of its short-term rental and tourism accommodation regulations. These include explanations of existing laws, key requirements for hosts, and relevant contact points to help you understand your obligations when listing your property on OH-Stay.com.

Tourism Tax

Under the Tiroler Aufenthaltsabgabengesetz (Tyrolean Tourism Tax Act), a tax applies to all overnight stays for tourism purposes unless an exemption applies. The amount of the tax is charged per person, per night, and varies depending on the tourist region in which your accommodation is located.

Registration and Reporting Duties

According to the Tiroler Aufenthaltsabgabengesetz, hosts who are liable for the tourism tax must register with their local tourism office before offering short-term rentals. When paying the tourism tax, hosts are also required to report their rental activity.

Additional details about the registration process and payment procedures are available on the official Tyrol website.

Permits

Following the 2020 amendment to the Tyrolean Building Regulations, hosts are required to obtain a permit from their local building authority before accommodating guests, unless specific exceptions apply.

You may not need a permit if:

Your property is your primary residence
You rent out no more than three apartments in the same building
The total number of guest beds does not exceed twelve
No other permanent residents live in the building

It is important to confirm with your local administration whether a permit is required in your situation before you begin hosting.
