Owners of tourist accommodation: single registration number denied due to lack of tourist use licence

The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has dismissed the appeal against the suspension of the assignment of a single registration number for short-term tourist rentals (Resolution of 7 April 2026). The decision is based on the failure to provide the corresponding tourist use licence for the municipality of Madrid, following the criteria established in previous resolutions from July 2025.

In 2 key points

  1. A municipal tourist use licence is required for the assignment of a single registration number for short-term rentals (Resolución de 7 de abril de 2026)
  2. A two-month period is available to appeal via a claim before the Civil Court (art. 325 y 328 de la Ley Hipotecaria)

How it affects those involved

For owners or managers of tourist rental properties in Madrid, the resolution confirms that a municipal tourist use licence is mandatory to obtain a single registration number (Resolution of 7 April 2026). The absence of this document prevents the necessary registration classification for the activity. Affected parties have a period of two months to appeal via a claim before the Civil Court (Articles 325 and 328 of the Mortgage Law).
