Tourist accommodation owners: Directorate General upholds suspension of registration number due to lack of planning requirements

The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has confirmed the suspension of the allocation of a short-term tourist rental registration number in Seville. The decision is based on the fact that Tourist Use Dwellings are not classified under accommodation use; therefore, they retain their residential status and do not permit a change of use without meeting the municipal planning requirements of the City Council (Section III).

In 2 key points

  1. Tourist Use Dwellings are not classified under accommodation use, maintaining their residential status (Section III). (Sección III)
  2. The allocation of a registration number requires ratification by a simple majority of owners in undivided estates (Facts II.One). (Hechos II.Uno)

How it affects those involved

For owners of properties intended for tourist use, the resolution reinforces the need to prove compliance with municipal planning regulations to obtain a registration number. It establishes that Tourist Use Dwellings are not governed by the regulations for tourist apartment establishments, but rather maintain their nature as residential dwellings (Section III). This implies a risk of registration denial if a change of use is not first managed through the City Council.
