What does property cost in Melgaço?
These are the two municipality-level medians INE publishes for Melgaço: 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.

Both series are drawn from the public data registry with full provenance. Transacted (sold) figures come from INE’s house-price statistics; the bank-valuation series is INE’s median valuation used by credit institutions. Each carries its own reference period, shown above.
What are the rules and costs in Melgaço?
Prices tell you what it costs to buy in Melgaço; 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 Melgaço, 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 Melgaço 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 Melgaço 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 Melgaço purchase, use the cost calculator linked below.
