Many cities require property owners to showcase a unique identification number - commonly referred to as tourist ID codes, registration numbers and transient accommodation tax numbers. It's an important piece of information that ensures the safety and security of locals no matter where they are in the world!
You can add this info within the tax section of your listing, and travelers will be able to verify if you have a legal accommodation.
