Generally Investor friendly
Short‑term rentals are permitted citywide under PR’s statewide framework; no Rio Grande ban or caps are identified. Registration as an innkeeper with PRTC plus a Use/Single Permit from OGPe (fees starting ~$110) is required, plus occupancy tax (7%) and standard safety/health compliance—moderate but manageable rather than prohibitive.
