The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith confirms that properties classified as 'deemed non-conforming' cannot be used for tourist purposes without prior and express authorisation from the competent municipal body for a change of use (legal grounds I). This resolution upholds the registrar's decision to suspend the assignment of a short-term rental registration number due to the lack of such urban planning and environmental authorisation. The registration procedure aims to ensure compliance with urban planning and administrative requirements (Royal Decree 1312/2024).
For owners of properties in irregular urban planning situations ('deemed non-conforming'), obtaining a short-term rental registration number is contingent upon first obtaining authorisation for a change of use from the City Council (legal grounds I). Without this unique registration number, the property cannot be listed on online accommodation platforms. Rental management companies must verify the urban planning status of properties before applying for registration to avoid registration suspensions.
