Short answer
Local Accommodation (AL) in the Azores is regulated by national rules plus regional adjustments, and requirements have changed in recent years. You generally need to register the property, meet safety and capacity rules, and comply with municipal and tourism authority conditions. Rules vary by property type and location, so confirm current requirements with the regional tourism authority and your municipality before investing.
