Albuquerque requires every short-term rental advertisement, including listings on Airbnb and Vrbo, to display the city-issued permit number. Hosts and, in practice, platforms share responsibility for compliance, with delisting used as an enforcement lever.
Under R-19-19 and the Planning Department's STR rules, any advertisement of an Albuquerque short-term rental on a hosting platform must show the city permit number on the listing page. Listings without a permit number are considered out of compliance and the city may demand the platform remove them. Albuquerque has used this provision to flag bad-actor listings on Airbnb and Vrbo and to pressure platforms to delist them. While New Mexico has no statewide platform-liability statute, Albuquerque relies on its local advertising rule plus state lodgers' tax law to keep platforms cooperative.
Advertising an Albuquerque STR without a visible permit number, ignoring city demands to update or remove a noncompliant listing, or refusing to remit lodgers' tax can trigger fines, removal requests sent to platforms, and permit revocation.
