# Create a property

> Add a new property with its name and address so you can start managing units, guests, and your team.

A property is the top-level space you run in Superhost — a hotel, building, or
collection of units. Creating one sets up everything else: units, reservations,
team members, and channels all live under a property.

<Note>
  If you've just signed up and don't belong to any property yet, the app takes
  you straight to the first-property form — this is the first thing you do after
  completing your profile. If a teammate has already set up a property, ask them
  for an invite code instead and see [Join a property](/properties/join-a-property).
</Note>

There are two ways to create a property, depending on where you are: a quick
form the first time you sign up, and a fuller form from the Properties list once
you're set up.

## Your first property

If you've just signed up and don't belong to any property yet, Superhost takes
you straight to a short form that only needs a name and, optionally, an address.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Enter the property name">
    In **Property name**, type the name guests and your team will recognize.
    This field is required.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the address">
    Under **Address**, start typing in the search field and pick your address
    from the suggestions. Selecting a suggestion pins the location and sets the
    tourist-tax jurisdiction for the property.

    <Tip>
      You can leave the address blank for now and add it later from the
      property's **General** settings.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create the property">
    Tap **Continue** to create the property.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Create a property from the Properties list

Once you already have a property, open the [Properties
list](/properties/property-details#the-properties-list) and tap **Create
Property** to open the full form. It captures more detail up front.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add a photo (optional)">
    Tap the avatar at the top to set a property image. It's the picture shown
    for the property across the app.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the property name">
    In **Property name**, type the name guests and your team will recognize.
    This field is required.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the short code">
    **Short code** is a compact label used on calendars and badges. It auto-fills
    from the name; type to override it, or clear the field to go back to
    auto-fill.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the code">
    **Code** is an internal code for the property, such as `main-hotel`. This
    field is required.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a description (optional)">
    Use **Description** to describe the property. This description is visible to
    guests and users.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the address">
    Under **Address**, search and select the property's address from the
    suggestions. Superhost uses it to pin the location and set the tourist-tax
    jurisdiction.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the timezone">
    **Timezone** is used for check-in and check-out times and scheduling. Enter
    it in `Region/City` form, such as `Europe/Ljubljana`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create the property">
    Tap **Create** to add the property.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What happens next

Either way, Superhost makes the new property your active property. Where it
takes you depends on which form you used:

* **Your first property** — Superhost opens a short guided setup that walks you
  through the property's essentials, its units, and inviting your team, then
  reviews what's still missing. It's optional; you can skip it and use the
  settings pages instead. See [Set up your
  property](/properties/set-up-your-property).
* **A property created from the Properties list** — Superhost opens the
  property's **General** settings, where you can add a description, set the
  timezone, and upload a property image. From there you'll usually add your
  units next.
