Property management Paphos: tenants, repairs and the owner's taxes
We find and check tenants for your property in Paphos through a licensed estate agent, handle repairs and bills, and take care of the rental tax where needed.
Property management in Paphos is mostly houses and villas: long-term listings are dominated by three-bedroom homes in Emba-Tala, Peyia, Chloraka and Geroskipou. Between tenants we keep the water account with EOA Pafou, which supplies Paphos, Geroskipou and Peyia among others, and the electricity account with EAC Supply in Paphos or Polis Chrysochous in order, and before a short let is advertised we register it with the Deputy Ministry of Tourism.

Questions
Short or long lets?
Short lets need registration with the Deputy Ministry of Tourism; long lets do not go through this register.
Do I need a licence for short-term rentals in Cyprus?
Villas, houses and flats let short-term must be entered in the Deputy Ministry of Tourism register and get a registration number. The number must appear in all adverts and related transactions, and the Deputy Ministry may inspect.
How much does short-let registration cost in Cyprus?
€222 per property for every three years, paid via JCC once the application is approved.
Can a property manager register my property for me?
Yes. An operator can apply with the owner's authorisation; both individuals and companies may apply.
Do I pay tax on short-let income in Cyprus?
Yes. Operators must pay income tax and VAT where it applies, and local overnight-stay charges where applicable.
