The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has overturned the suspension of the assignment of a short-term tourist rental registration number (NRA) imposed by the Land Registrar of Seville No. 10. The resolution determines that requiring the submission of a responsible declaration of accommodation use (Form 17 Bis) for a property with a prior tourist registration violates the principle of non-retroactivity and legal certainty (Legal Grounds). It establishes that the 2022 tourist registration resolution remains valid and effective against subsequent municipal criteria.
For companies managing tourist rental properties (VUT), the resolution protects the consolidation of their rights against subsequent changes in regulations or urban planning (Legal Grounds). It prevents municipal administrations from retroactively imposing administrative burdens (such as Form 17 Bis) to hinder the obtaining of a registration number. Land registrars may not suspend the assignment of an NRA based on urban planning requirements that were not applicable at the time the right was consolidated.
