Permit Requirements: Albuquerque vs Tijeras

Do I need a permit to rent my Albuquerque home on Airbnb?

Yes. Under Ordinance O-20-30 (ROA 1994 Sec. 13-19), every short-term rental in the City of Albuquerque must hold a separate STR Permit issued by the Planning Department, regardless of platform. Permits must be obtained before listing and renewed annually.

How much does an Albuquerque STR permit cost?

The Planning Department charges $120.00 for the initial permit and $90.00 for each annual renewal. Each STR property requires its own permit, so an owner with multiple units pays the fee per unit.

What insurance and occupancy limits apply?

Operators must carry short-term rental insurance with at least $250,000 in coverage and post a Good Neighbor Agreement inside the unit. Overnight occupancy is capped at two adults per bedroom plus two (a 2-bedroom unit allows up to six guests), and gatherings cannot exceed twice the overnight cap or 20 people, whichever is less, with all guests dispersing by 10 p.m.
