Yes, with a licence. Short-term and holiday-home letting is regulated by the Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority, not the municipality. Owners register through the RAKTDA holiday-homes portal before listing, the unit must pass a safety and quality inspection, and permits start around AED 300 a year for a one-bedroom, nearer AED 350 once the classification fee is added. Operators collect a 7% municipality fee and a flat AED 15 per night tourism dirham, plus applicable VAT, on bookings. Short-let is concentrated in the tourism-designated coastal communities, and given the looming supply, long-let is the more conservative income route.
