Tourist rental owners: municipal licence confirmed as mandatory for obtaining single registration number

The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has dismissed an appeal against the suspension of the allocation of a single registration number for short-term tourist rentals. The decision stems from the failure to provide the mandatory municipal licence (Resolution of 13 November 2025). The resolution is based on the same legal reasoning as precedents previously analysed by this Directorate in resolutions from June and July 2025.

In 2 key points

  1. The provision of a municipal licence is mandatory for the allocation of a single registration number for tourist rentals (Resolución de 13 de noviembre de 2025)
  2. A two-month period to appeal via a claim before the Civil Court from the date of notification (arts. 325 y 328 de la Ley Hipotecaria)

How it affects those involved

For owners of properties intended for tourist rentals, the requirement to hold a prior municipal licence to register in the single registry is ratified. The absence of this document prevents the Land Registrar from assigning a registration number. Interested parties may appeal this decision by filing a claim before the Civil Court within a period of two months (Articles 325 and 328 of the Mortgage Law).
