What does property cost in Corvo?
These are the two municipality-level medians INE publishes for Corvo: the transacted (sold) price and the median bank valuation, both per square metre. They are measured differently and are labelled separately, so a valuation is never presented as a sold price.
Not yet published by INE at this granularity — we show a figure only when the warehouse can source it with provenance, never an estimate.

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. Sold prices 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 Corvo?
Prices tell you what it costs to buy in Corvo; 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 Corvo, 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 Corvo 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 Corvo 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 Corvo purchase, use the cost calculator linked below.
Plan your purchase
We publish a number only when the warehouse can source it. Many of the series shown here, including the sold-price and bank-valuation medians, are listed in the public data registry with their official sources, reference periods and licences.
