Letting in Accra
Rules and licensing
Short-term letting is legal and unregulated at city level; the Ghana Tourism Authority licenses accommodation and enforcement is patchy. A foreign owner cannot hold freehold land — leasehold, usually 50 years, is the structure.
Tourist tax
A tourism levy applies to licensed accommodation; VAT and levies add roughly 20% on the bill.
How the year is shaped
Peaks hard in December, when Detty December brings the diaspora home and rates triple, then again around Easter. The wet season from May to July is the trough.
Who books here
Diaspora and returnees, business travel, and conference traffic. A generator and a water tank are not luxuries here; guests ask about both.
Short-term rental rules change often and can differ by district, and building or condominium rules may restrict letting regardless of what the city permits. Treat this as orientation, not legal advice, and confirm the current position with the local authority before letting.
