What does a property manager cost in Aruba?

Almost nobody publishes it. Of 25 companies reviewed in August 2026, two state an actual figure: one charges a flat 20% commission on short-term rental income, another charges 10% on long-term rentals and 15% on weekly or monthly ones, on top of a base management programme whose price is not published. Two more advertise "competitive" rates without giving a number. The remaining 21 publish nothing about price at all, so the only way to find out is to ask them directly.

Do I need a licence to rent out my house in Aruba?

The government announced in April 2024 that registration would become mandatory for every vacation rental, as part of a policy then in its final phase. We have not found a later official confirmation that it is in force, and under 1% of active Aruba listings currently mention a licence. Check directly with the Aruban authorities before relying on either position.

What tax applies to a vacation rental in Aruba?

Short-term rental is subject to a 12.5% tourist levy on the nightly rate plus an environmental levy of roughly USD 3 per room per night. Long-term rental is subject to 7% BBO unless the property is your primary residence. Only one of the 25 companies reviewed explains how tax applies to its own management commission.

How was this list compiled?

We searched in English, Dutch and Spanish across vacation-rental managers, estate agencies with rental arms, condo and resort managers, and area by area across the island. Every fact was then read from the company’s own website and stamped with the date it was read. Where a company publishes nothing, the profile says so rather than estimating. Companies whose websites could not be reached are held back until someone verifies them by hand.

Property managers in Aruba

Every property management company in Aruba we could find and verify online — what they do, where they work, and what they publish about their own terms. Compiled from company websites in August 2026, with the date each fact was checked.

25 companies reviewed· Last reviewed 7 August 2026How this ranking works

If you own a holiday home in Aruba and want someone else to run it, this is the list of companies that do that work. We compiled it by searching in three languages, then opening each company’s own website and recording only what it actually says.

The single clearest finding: almost nobody publishes their price. Two of the twenty-five companies reviewed state an actual management fee. The rest ask you to get in touch to find out. That is not an accusation — it is simply how this market currently works, and it is the reason a list like this is worth keeping.

What this list covers

This list covers companies findable online in English, Dutch and Spanish. Operators who work by word of mouth or only through a Facebook page are not here — on an island this size that is a real gap. Four companies were found but left out because their websites could not be reached to verify anything.

Rules and tax for owners

Aruba is in the middle of formalising how vacation rentals are regulated. In an April 2024 statement the government said a registration regime was in its final phase: every owner with a listing would have to register the property in order to operate it, with the Department of Inspection and Hygiene becoming an independent unit responsible for licensing and for hygiene and safety inspections.

That was the position as published in April 2024 and we have not found a later official confirmation, so treat it as direction of travel rather than current law. One third-party source still describes a licence as not mandatory. If you are deciding anything on this, check with the Aruban authorities directly — this page is research, not legal advice.

On tax, short-term rental is subject to a tourist levy of 12.5% of the nightly rate plus an environmental levy of roughly USD 3 per room per night. Long-term rental attracts 7% BBO unless the home is the owner’s primary residence.
