The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has confirmed the suspension of a short-term tourist rental registration number due to a lack of correspondence between the land registry property and the cadastral property (Art. 18 Mortgage Law). The resolution emphasises that to operate within the Registry, the building must be registered and there must be consistency between the land registry data and the provided cadastral reference. Furthermore, proof of the municipal enabling title is required to proceed with the registration (Art. 19 bis and 322 Mortgage Law).
For owners or managers of tourist use dwellings (VUT), the resolution sets a precedent of technical rigour: possessing a communication from the Xunta de Galicia is insufficient; it is imperative that the physical reality of the building matches the land registry entry (Art. 9 and 21 Mortgage Law). Failure to ensure correspondence between the land registry property (e.g., rural land) and the cadastral property (e.g., a building used as a warehouse), or the lack of prior municipal notification of commencement of activity, will prevent obtaining the registration number required for tourist activities.
