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 qualification note inadmissible. The registrar suspended the assignment of a unique registration number for short-term tourist rentals because the community statutes prohibit such activity. The resolution is based on the consistency with previous dismissals published in the BOE during 2025.

In 1 key point

  1. Two-month period to appeal via a claim before the Civil Court from the date of notification. (art. 325 y 328 de la Ley Hipotecaria)

How it affects those involved

For property owners in residential communities, the resolution confirms that a ban on tourist rentals contained in the community statutes prevails over an application for activity registration. The appellant will be unable to obtain a unique registration number for short-term rentals if such a statutory restriction exists. Interested parties have two months to appeal via a claim before the Civil Court (Articles 325 and 328 of the Mortgage Law).
