01
Registration number (AMA)
Register the property with the tax authority (AADE). The 11-digit number must appear on every listing and stays in the owner’s name.
For owners
Renting your home on Paros.
Before a holiday home takes its first booking, Greek law sets out registration, safety and insurance requirements. Here is a clear overview for owners — with a full guide and sources.
Before you rent
The owner’s checklist.
02
Civil liability insurance
Cover for damage or accidents, from an insurer authorised in Greece. Platform guest cover does not count.
03
Electrical & fire safety
An electrician’s declaration (ΥΔΕ), an anti-electrocution breaker (RCD), fire extinguishers, smoke detectors and escape signage.
04
Health & guest safety
A pest-control certificate, a first-aid kit and a list of emergency phone numbers in the property.
05
Documents to hand
Building permit or legalisation papers and floor plans, ready to send if you are inspected.
Key dates
What changed, and when.
- 1 October 2025Law 5170/2025 standards apply to every short-term rental.
- 20 May 2026Platforms report nights and income monthly and remove listings without a valid number.
- July 2026First inspection notices sent. Owners have ten days to submit documents.
Inspections & fines
Why it matters.
Listing a property without a registration number is fined at 50% of the year’s gross short-term income, and not less than €5,000.
Inspectors can ask for the insurance policy, electrical declaration, permits, floor plans and photos of the safety equipment — and expect them within ten days.
The freeze on new registrations applies to central Athens, not Paros. On the island, the work is keeping paperwork complete and equipment in place before each season.
