Ban on tourist rentals: application for registration number rejected due to prohibition in property statutes

The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has declared an appeal against a land registrar's decision inadmissible. The registrar suspended the assignment of a unique registration number for short-term tourist rentals because the community statutes prohibit such activities. The ruling is based on the principle of legal consistency with previous dismissals published in the BOE during 2025.

In 2 key points

  1. Inadmissibility of the appeal due to consistency with previous dismissals in 2025 (texto fuente)
  2. Two-month deadline 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 in communities where statutes prohibit tourist rentals, it is confirmed that they cannot obtain the registration number required for legal activity (resolution of 20 November 2025). Affected individuals may appeal this decision by filing a claim with the Civil Court of the provincial capital within two months (Articles 325 and 328 of the Mortgage Law).
