Mandatory notification of changes in rental type and periods
As a landlord of a VUT in the Valencian Community, you must declare the period of tourist activity in the regional tourism procedure and keep it up to date. You may only market the dwelling as a VUT during the declared tourist periods. Using it as ordinary or seasonal housing during a declared tourist period can put the inscription at risk. Updated September 2026.
Making Changes
For stays of 10 consecutive days or fewer with a tourist purpose (or tourist marketing), Valencian VUT rules apply. Stays of 11 consecutive days or more are not VUTs.
- Tourist rentals of 10 days or fewer (tourist purpose / presumption) fall into the category of tourist rentals (VUT).
- Rentals of 11 days or more are not VUTs; they are typically treated as seasonal or other non-tourist rentals.
You do not have to file a change for every single booking. You do need to keep the declared activity type and periods accurate when the season plan changes (tourist vs personal use vs non-rental vs seasonal).
What if you do not transmit the changes?
If your rental information is not up to date, it could lead to fines or even loss of your tourist inscription. Report changes to the Generalitat Valenciana through the official tourism procedures when they occur or when they are planned for the season.
How to deal with unforeseen changes?
Rental periods often vary with demand. A rental agency or channel manager can help you keep declared periods and guest data in order. That is operational help — it is not a legal guarantee or a substitute for the owners own compliance.
Summary
Keep the Generalitat informed of the periods assigned to tourist rental, other uses or non-rental. Update this when the plan for the season changes.
Key Points:
- 10 consecutive days or fewer with a tourist purpose (or tourist listing): VUT category.
- 11 consecutive days or more: not a VUT (typically seasonal / other).
- Keeping declared periods up to date helps avoid fines and protects your inscription.
