Overview
- The digital Registry of Hosts and Platforms went live on Friday, May 22, 2026, and platforms and individual hosts have 30 days to register to keep offering short‑term stays in Mexico City.
- Registered hosts must provide ownership documents, ID, tax data and a liability insurance policy and must display an official folio number on listings and at the property.
- Platforms must enroll in the registry, report the properties they offer and the number of nights occupied, keep verification records and submit semiannual reports to city authorities.
- The city says it will enforce the rules with a legal support office, a monitoring agreement with Profeco, complaint channels in Xocongo and the power to block listings that lack a valid folio.
- Officials highlighted housing and fiscal aims: the move targets large‑scale conversions that displace neighbors, treats operators with four or more units as commercial, and follows calls for further reforms such as a Ley de Rentas Justas.
