Property prices in Póvoa de Varzim

The latest official medians for the municipality of Póvoa de Varzim, in the Porto district — each figure shown with its INE source, reference period and licence. We publish a number only when the warehouse can source it.

What does property cost in Póvoa de Varzim?

These are the two municipality-level medians INE publishes for Póvoa de Varzim: 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.

Can you run a short-term rental here?

Short-term letting (Alojamento Local, AL) is regulated at the municipal level in Póvoa de Varzim, 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 Póvoa de Varzim 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 Póvoa de Varzimcouncil 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.
