Ban on tourist rentals: registration number denied if community statutes prohibit such use

The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has declared the inadmissibility of an appeal seeking a registration number for short-term tourist rentals, due to an express prohibition within the community statutes (Resolution of 11 November 2025). The decision is based on consistency with previous administrative case law, which prevents tourist use if the homeowners' association has stipulated such a ban.

In 2 key points

  1. The assignment of a tourist rental registration number is prevented if prohibitions exist within the community statutes (Resolución de 11 de noviembre de 2025)
  2. A two-month period applies to appeal via a claim before the Civil Court (arts. 325 y 328 de la Ley Hipotecaria)

How it affects those involved

For property owners wishing to conduct tourist rentals, the existence of a prohibition in the community statutes prevents them from obtaining the single registration number required for the activity. Affected individuals may appeal this decision by filing a claim with the Civil Court of the provincial capital within a two-month period (Articles 325 and 328 of the Mortgage Law).
