Tourist rentals in the Valencian Community are no longer “I publish the apartment and collect”: It is a regulated activity, with mandatory registration, technical requirements and serious sanctions for those who operate without papers. This is the practical guide to the tourist rental license in the Valencian Community - what do you need, in what order and what has changed.
What is considered housing for tourist use (BUT)
The entire home transferred in exchange for price, on a regular basis, for short periods and marketed through tourist channels (platforms, agencies, advertising). Habituality is presumed with facts such as advertising on platforms. If this is your case, you need to be registered before to publish the first ad.
The requirements, an order
1. Municipal urban compatibility report
The town hall must confirm that tourist use is allowed for your property: There are municipalities and areas with restrictions or moratoriums. Without this favorable report, no registration is possible — it is the first filter, not the last.
2. The community of owners
After the latest reforms, communities have the key: new tourist rentals require that the statutes do not prohibit it and, for recent discharges, the express authorization of the community (qualified majority of 3/5). Before investing a euro, get this in writing.
3. Registration in the regional registry and number
With the above, the responsible declaration is submitted to Turisme and the home obtains its registration number (Registrations are renewed periodically). Besides, To advertise on platforms, the number of the single state registry of short-term rentals — the digital window that crosses data with the platforms. No numbers visible in the ad, the ad falls and sanctions arrive.
4. Housing requirements
Habitability and equipment conditions established by tourism regulations (air conditioning, household, telephone support, claim sheets, identification plate), registration of travelers communicated to the police and, of course, registration and taxation of income.
Sanctions: paper is cheap next door
Operate without registration, with the unfavorable municipal report or without the numbers in the advertising, it is punishable with fines that reach tens of thousands of euros in serious cases., in addition to the closure of the activity. The time of “everyone does it” ended the crossing of data between platforms, state and regional registration.
