Owners of tourist accommodation: Registrar may suspend registration number assignment due to lack of planning requirements

The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith confirms the competence of Land Registrars to assess whether short-term rentals comply with urban planning regulations (Art. 4). In this instance, the suspension of a registration number assignment in Seville was upheld because the submission of the responsible declaration for tourist accommodation use to the City Council could not be proven (Art. II). The resolution emphasises that the registry must ensure information accuracy to comply with Regulation (EU) 2024/1028.

In 3 key points

  1. Seven working day period to rectify defects in the registration application, Art. II (art. II)
  2. Possibility of online platform listings being disabled due to failure to rectify defects, Art. II (art. II)
  3. Obligation to provide the responsible declaration of first use (Form 17-bis), Art. II (art. II)

How it affects those involved

For owners of tourist accommodation, failure to prove the submission of the responsible declaration to the City Council prevents obtaining the registration number required to operate legally (Art. II). Non-compliance with planning requirements or failure to rectify defects within seven working days may result in notification to the Digital Single Window for Rental Services, enabling rental platforms to disable listings (Art. II).
