In Kilchberg the situation is in flux: on 16 June 2026 the municipal assembly resolved to ban hotel-like operations in purely residential zones — a first in the canton of Zurich. Anyone who owns or wants to buy a flat here needs clarity about the legal position first, not about the return.

Regelung in Kilchberg: Beschluss gefasst, Genehmigung ausstehend

On 16 June 2026 the municipal assembly adopted a revised building and zoning ordinance (Bau- und Zonenordnung) prohibiting hotel-like operations in purely residential zones. Approval by the cantonal authorities is still pending; the ordinance is not yet legally binding. Anyone wanting to acquire a property here for short-term letting should ask the municipality about the current position before buying. Only the municipality gives binding information on this.

Die Lage

Kilchberg lies on Lake Zurich south of the city, on a slope above the water. The S-Bahn takes around ten minutes to the main station — close enough for business travellers, quiet enough for longer stays.

Guests in Kilchberg are looking for quiet with a city connection. Stays are more often longer than in the city: expats between flats, families, business travellers on multi-week assignments. Short weekend stays are rarer.

Fragen zu Kilchberg

Was Eigentümer in Kilchberg am häufigsten fragen — mit Quelle, wo es eine gibt.

Is Airbnb banned in Kilchberg?

Not yet, but a resolution is on the table. On 16 June 2026 the municipal assembly adopted a revised building and zoning ordinance (Bau- und Zonenordnung) prohibiting hotel-like operations in purely residential zones. Approval by the cantonal authorities is pending; the ordinance is not yet legally binding. Whether and when it takes effect is open — the canton could object to parts of it. Anyone planning here should ask the municipality directly and not rely on a website, including this one.

What does «hotel-like operation» actually mean?

That is the question everything hinges on in an individual case — and it is not yet conclusively settled. The city’s distinction serves as a guide: a flat with no resident, let year-round to changing guests, falls under it. Occasional letting of your own flat while you are away typically does not. Where the line will be drawn in Kilchberg will emerge in application. The municipal building authority is responsible for a binding statement.

Is short-term letting in Kilchberg worthwhile anyway?

Economically the location has advantages: ten minutes to the main station by S-Bahn, lake access, a quiet residential setting. Stays are longer than in the city — expats between flats, business travellers on assignment — which lowers cleaning costs per franc of revenue. But all of that is secondary while the zoning question is open. At present we would not advise any owner to invest in Kilchberg on the basis of a return calculation.

What is the alternative if the ban takes effect?

Furnished letting with a minimum term of three months does not fall under «hotel-like operation» in many regulations and zoning ordinances — it may be the route that remains permissible. Economically it sits between long-term and short-term letting: higher returns than long-term, considerably less work than weekly turnovers. Whether that holds in Kilchberg depends on the wording of the approved ordinance.

Who is looking for accommodation in Kilchberg?

Expats, business travellers on assignment, families and long-stay guests. Lindt & Sprüngli with its visitor centre is in the village, and proximity to corporate sites on the western shore brings business guests. Short weekend stays are rare — those who come to Kilchberg generally stay longer. That is precisely the pattern in which length of stay matters economically.
