New rules, mandatory declarations, restricted zones: everything owners need to know about Airbnb regulations in Strasbourg in 2026.
The regulation of short-term rentals continues to evolve in France, and Strasbourg is no exception to the trend. In 2026, the Eurometropolis is strengthening its requirements. Complete decryption for owners.
The regulatory framework in Strasbourg in 2026
Mandatory declaration at town hall
Since the ELAN law, any rental of furnished tourist accommodation in Strasbourg requires a registration number with the Eurométropole. In 2026, the procedure will be dematerialized via the city portal. This number must appear on all advertisements (Airbnb, Booking, Abritel).
120 day limit for primary residences
If your property is your main residence, rental is limited to 120 nights per year. Beyond that, your property is considered a second home and must be subject to a change of use — a complex procedure often requiring compensation.
Change of use for second homes
To rent a second home in furnished tourist accommodation in Strasbourg, you must obtain a change of use authorization from the town hall. In 2026, the procedure is particularly regulated in the most touristy districts (Grande Île, Petite France, Cathedral). Compensation may be required: you must transform commercial premises into housing in the same district.
New features for 2026
- Energy performance diagnosis (DPE): furnished tourist accommodation must display a minimum class D DPE by the end of 2026
- Increased tourist tax: up to €4.20 per night and per person for high-end accommodation
- Reinforced controls: the Eurométropole has doubled its inspection team for furnished tourist accommodation
