The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has ruled on an appeal regarding the mandatory requirement to provide a municipal tourist use licence to be assigned a short-term rental registration number (Art. 9.2.a RD 1312/2024). The dispute focused on whether registration in the Community of Madrid's Registry of Tourist Enterprises is sufficient or if the requirement for a municipal licence must prevail. The resolution examines the application of Royal Decree 1312/2024 within the framework of regional and local regulations.
For owners of properties intended for short-term rental in Madrid, prior registration in the Community of Madrid Registry does not exempt them from the obligation to present a municipal tourist use licence to obtain a registration marketing code (Art. 9.2.a RD 1312/2024). This implies a risk of suspension in the assignment of registration numbers if the corresponding municipal authorisation is not held, regardless of how long the regional registration has been in place.
