Inability to assign short-term rental registration numbers to commercial premises

The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith confirms that the procedure for assigning registration numbers for short-term rentals, regulated by Royal Decree 1312/2024, applies exclusively to dwellings and not to commercial premises (Art. 4.2). The resolution upholds the registrar's negative assessment in denying the application for a premises registered as such in the Land Registry. The purpose of this registry is to ensure compliance with urban planning and administrative requirements for temporary accommodation.

In 1 key point

  1. The short-term rental registry applies only to dwellings, not to commercial premises (Art. 4.2). (art. 4.2)

How it affects those involved

For owners of commercial premises intending to operate them as short-term tourist accommodation, this resolution confirms that they will be unable to obtain the single registration number required to list on online platforms (Art. 4.2). The impact is restrictive, as the framework of Royal Decree 1312/2024 is limited to residential units, preventing the formalisation of this type of activity in properties designated for commercial use.
