RENTING IN CURAÇAO
A practical guide for property owners and tenants navigating the Curaçao rental market.
THE CURAÇAO RENTAL MARKET
Whether you are a property owner preparing your home for the rental market or a tenant searching for the right property, understanding the process helps create better decisions.
This guide provides a practical overview of important rental considerations in Curaçao.
BEFORE YOU RENT
The rental process involves more than finding a property and agreeing on a monthly amount.
Rental value should be considered in relation to location, property condition, furnishing, amenities, comparable properties and current market demand.
Before signing, both parties should understand the rental period, monthly rent, deposit, inclusions, responsibilities and other agreed terms.
Property owners may benefit from a structured screening process that considers identity, employment, income, intended use and other relevant information.
Professional photography, accurate information and clear rental conditions help attract suitable tenants and create stronger first impressions.
A documented handover can help clarify the property's condition, keys, meter readings, inventory and responsibilities at the start of the rental.
Clear communication between owner and tenant can reduce misunderstandings and establish realistic expectations throughout the rental.
TAX CONSIDERATIONS
Tax treatment depends on the type and duration of the rental. Always verify your specific situation with the Curaçao Tax Department or a qualified tax professional.
According to the Curaçao Tax Department, rental of an immovable property that is furnished, intended or used for permanent residence and rented for at least one year is subject to 0% turnover tax.
For accommodation rented to persons staying for a short period of up to 90 days, the applicable turnover tax rate is currently 7%.
The Curaçao Tax Department states that rentals exceeding 90 days but shorter than one year are subject to a 6% turnover tax in the applicable circumstances.
Rental income may have income-tax consequences. The Curaçao Tax Department states that rental proceeds are taxable and should be included in the applicable income-tax return.
For current official information:
Curaçao Tax Department — Turnover Tax → Curaçao Tax Department — OZB →PROPERTY OWNERS
The Onroerendezaakbelasting (OZB) is a property tax in Curaçao. The official tax authority states that the tax is based on the value of the property and uses progressive rates.
OZB treatment can vary depending on the property and ownership circumstances. Verify your specific position with the Curaçao Tax Department.
