Ban on tourist rentals: registration number denied due to prohibition in property bylaws

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 bylaws contained an express prohibition of such activities. The resolution is based on the principle of legal 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 (arts. 325 y 328 de la Ley Hipotecaria)

How it affects those involved

For property owners intending to carry out short-term tourist rentals, the existence of a prohibition in the community bylaws prevents obtaining the registration number required for the activity. The resolution confirms the prevalence of statutory prohibitions over registration requests. Interested parties may appeal this decision by filing a claim before the Civil Court within two months (Articles 325 and 328 of the Mortgage Law).
