Suspension of tourist rental registration number for property due to statutory ban on lodging

The Directorate-General for Legal Security and Public Faith has resolved to suspend the assignment of a tourist rental registration number to a property in Barcelona. This decision follows a negative assessment by the Land Registrar, who argued that the community of owners' statutes prohibit lodging activities (Art. 15 of the statutes registered on 08/08/2011). The resolution is based on DGSJFP doctrine, which establishes that the concept of 'lodging' includes tourist rental properties (DGSJFP Resolution of 09/05/2025, BOE-A-2025-11582).

In 2 key points

  1. The concept of lodging also encompasses tourist rental properties (DGSJFP Resolution of 09/05/2025, BOE-A-2025-11582). (Fundamento de Derecho sexto)
  2. The assignment of a tourist rental registration number is suspended due to a prohibition on lodging activities in the statutes (Art. 15). (Hechos II)

How it affects those involved

For property owners intending to use their homes for tourist rentals, this resolution reinforces the validity of 'lodging' prohibitions contained within community statutes (Art. 15). Current administrative interpretation links the term 'lodging' to tourist use, which prevents the obtaining of registration numbers in properties with such statutory limitations (DGSJFP Resolution of 09/05/2025).
