How to register in Austria

  1. Confirm the 90-day annual cap on tourist rental applies to your unit (in force since 2024).
  2. Beyond 90 days, apply for an Ausnahmebewilligung (exception permit) from the MA37 building authority — difficult to obtain.
  3. Register for a Vienna registration number under the scheme adopted by the provincial parliament on 12 December 2025.
  4. Budget for the Ortstaxe increase: 5% from July 2026, 8% from July 2027.
