Holiday Rental Licenses

Information on Holiday Rental Licenses in Spain

Whats new for holiday rental inscriptions in the Comunidad Valenciana?

1. Renewal of inscriptions

Starting from 8 August 2024, new tourist inscriptions must be renewed every five years. Renewal requires an updated municipal compatibility report. HOA evidence depends on the case:

  • Valencian rule: certificate that statutes/title do not prohibit tourist / non-habitual use (not always a positive “permission”).
  • National LPH (from 3 April 2025): new tourist use generally needs express 3/5 HOA approval. Renewals of older inscriptions follow transitional rules — do not assume every renewal needs a fresh 3/5 vote.

Exemption / calendar for existing inscriptions

  • Inscriptions granted after 08/08/2024 last 5 years and must be renewed in the month before they expire.
  • Inscriptions granted before 08/08/2024 must be renewed before 08/08/2029 (confirm the exact filing window with your advisor).

Change of owner

The inscription is not transferable. The new owner must file a new declaración responsable.

2. Enforcement

Municipal and regional authorities can inspect unregistered holiday rentals. Treat claims about “AI monitoring” as enforcement context, not a separate legal duty on hosts.

3. When an inscription can be lost

An inscription can be withdrawn or not renewed in various situations, for example if it is not renewed on time, if required declarations or activity periods are not kept up to date, or if it remains in the name of a previous owner after a sale. Grounds and notices depend on the case — seek advice rather than treating every delay as automatic termination.
