Cape Town STR By-Law
City of CT wants to collect our listing data, from the booking platforms, and use it to determine if we pay Commercial Rates on our properties.
They want to use 'Availability' not 'Occupancy'.
This may increase your current rates by 2.4x.

*see 1st comment for SASTRA's Response, which you can copy/past to your own email submission

A large number of responses is important .. please share this to your colleagues, employees, other Hosts, etc.

Not listing in CT - you must still comment, as it will come to your municipality too.

The deadline to email your comment to the City is Monday 5 Oct.

STR commercial rates for Cape Town
The City of CT has requested a meeting with SASTRA.
We want to give them your inputs directly.
Please add your answer in the COMMENT :

1. Will you be affected by rates increase?

2. The City of CT will increase your current property rates by x2.35. Will this affect the financial viability of your STR?

3. Will you consider closing your listing/s because of this increase?

The Tourism Business Council of South Africa (TBCSA) brings together member associations and corporate members representing a broad cross-section of the country's tourism value chain.

As we celebrate our 30th anniversary this year, we also recognise the organisations that continue to strengthen our collective voice and contribute to a competitive and sustainable tourism sector.

Together, these member associations and corporate members bring expertise from across accommodation, transport, aviation, attractions, business events, wildlife tourism, travel services and destination marketing, helping shape a stronger and more competitive tourism sector.

Yesterday, SASTRA met with WESGRO.
We provided insights into how the Short Term Industry is structured, how STR's support local economies and communities, the specific challenges faced in Cape Town with bad guest behaviour and scammers, as well as concerns about the blunt instrument of Tariff's that are planned that risk closing down 20% of STR's, largely located in the less popular areas, but where the Province wants to drive 'tourism dispersion'.
It was a very productive conversation, with more to come.

IS YOUR STR AT RISK? ACT BEFORE TUESDAY!

The Department of Tourism has released the first attempt to regulate our sector. While we welcome better standards, the current proposal is "non-binding" and "interim," leaving us with more questions than answers. We need a seat at the table to ensure these rules are practical and fair.
If we don't speak up now, we lose the right to complain later. Send your email today! 📩

WE NEED TO ACT NOW AS A HOST COMMUNITY :
• Copy the suggested response from SASTRA (WA Group) : https://chat.whatsapp.com/GqneOQ6Ugoh7vFmFRR1fEB)
• Deadline: Tuesday, 12 May 2026 (tomorrow!)
• Email: [email protected]
• Subject: Public Comment: Code of Good Practice for Short Term Rentals in the Tourism Sector

Don't let the future of STRs be decided without you
