Letting in Medellín
Rules and licensing
Registration in the Registro Nacional de Turismo is mandatory and enforced. Many El Poblado buildings have banned short-term letting in their horizontal-property bylaws, and the city has moved against unregistered operators — check the building rules before the city rules.
Tourist tax
VAT applies to accommodation, with an exemption available to foreign visitors where the operator is properly RNT-registered.
How the year is shaped
Steady year-round thanks to the climate, with peaks around the Feria de las Flores in August and the December holidays.
Who books here
A large remote-working population on month-long stays alongside short city breaks. Desk space, reliable fibre and a building with a gym are what the long-stay market actually chooses on.
Short-term rental rules change often and can differ by district, and building or condominium rules may restrict letting regardless of what the city permits. Treat this as orientation, not legal advice, and confirm the current position with the local authority before letting.
