Every figure in this section comes from INE and is shown with its own reference period. The sold-price and bank-valuation series are listed in the public data registry with full provenance. The dwellings-sold bars print their source, INE indicator code and licence under the chart. Sold prices and the count of dwellings sold come from INE’s house-price statistics; the bank-valuation figure is INE’s median valuation used by credit institutions.

What are the rules and costs in Angra do Heroísmo?

Prices tell you what it costs to buy in Angra do Heroísmo; the rules and costs below tell you what governs a purchase and what it costs to hold.

Two rules shape most purchases here — whether a property can be let short-term, and what it costs to hold each year — followed by the guides and calculator to model your full purchase.

Can you run a short-term rental here?

Short-term letting (Alojamento Local, AL) is regulated at the municipal level in Angra do Heroísmo, as it is across Portugal: the national Alojamento Local regime (Decreto-Lei 128/2014, as amended) sets registration and operating requirements, while each câmara municipal can designate zonas de contenção that suspend or restrict new AL registrations. Restriction status varies by municipality and by parish, and changes over time.

This is general information, not legal advice — confirm the current status for a specific address with the Angra do Heroísmo câmara municipal before assuming a property can be operated as AL.

What about annual property tax (IMI)?

Municipal Property Tax (IMI) is levied annually by the Angra do Heroísmo council within a band set nationally, so the exact rate depends on the municipality and the property’s taxable value (VPT). We do not print a rate we cannot source: any specific figure we publish is drawn from the official register with its reference year, never estimated here.

To model the full acquisition cost — IMT, stamp duty and the recurring IMI — for a specific Angra do Heroísmo purchase, use the cost calculator linked below.
