Rules vary across Imbituba. I don't have reliable, current information about short-term rental regulations or enforcement reality for these specific Brazilian municipalities (Imbituba, Garopaba, and Laguna in Santa Catarina state). To provide accurate information about permits, licensing, occupancy rules, and actual enforcement levels in these cities, I'd need access to current local municipal codes and on-the-ground enforcement data that I don't have. I recommend contacting the municipal tourism offices (Secretaria de Turismo) or city halls directly for current regulations. Verify requirements for the property's jurisdiction.
