Puerto Rico
The Island of Enchantment

-
Territory-Wide: No island-wide STR ban, but 78 municipalities set rules, causing chaos per the [Viva Puerto Rico STR Alliance](https://vivapralliance.com/). PR Tourism Company oversees lodging tax—STRs need registration. 2024 report flags housing displacement pushing even stricter regulations.
-
San Juan: San Juan STR Ordinance—permits required, limits on non-owner units. Fines for illegal listings are hefty!
-
Notes: PR’s 3.2M pop and $20,166 median income (2018) fuel STR growth—local bans loom (e.g., Asheville-style proposals).
