Owners of unregistered properties: registration number for tourist rentals denied

The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has declared the inadmissibility of an appeal against the suspension of a unique registration number for short-term tourist rentals. This decision stems from the fact that the property for which the number is requested is not registered in the Land Registry (Resolution of 13 November 2025). This criterion aligns with previous rulings from this Directorate requiring prior registration before such numbers can be assigned.

In 2 key points

  1. Inadmissibility of the appeal due to the property not being registered in the Land Registry (Resolución de 13 de noviembre de 2025)
  2. Two-month period to appeal via a claim before the Civil Court (art. 325 y 328 de la Ley Hipotecaria)

How it affects those involved

For owners of properties intended for tourist rentals that are not registered in the Land Registry, the assignment of a unique registration number is blocked (Resolution of 13 November 2025). This prevents the legal operation of short-term rental activities on such properties until the lack of registration is rectified. Interested parties have two months to appeal via a claim before the Civil Court (Articles 325 and 328 of the Mortgage Law).
