Own a Home in Belize?

Make It Work for You—Legally and Hassle-Free.

If you own a home in Belize and plan to list it on vacation rental platforms like Airbnb or VRBO, you must be licensed by the Belize Tourism Board (BTB). The BTB is the official body responsible for regulating and promoting tourism in Belize—and that includes overseeing all guest accommodations.

Under the Hotels and Tourist Accommodation Act (Chapter 285), all vacation rental properties must meet specific quality standards and be certified by the BTB to operate legally.

Operating without a BTB license?

That comes with serious consequences—steep fines and immediate closure of your rental.

Here’s What the Process Involves:

Securing a BTB license isn’t a one-step task. It requires inspections and approvals from multiple government departments before the BTB gives the final green light. The inspection ensures your property meets all safety and operational standards to be considered a certified “hotel” under the law.
