New Regulation of Holiday Rentals in Spain:

In July 2025 will entry into force the registry of short-term rentals and the creation of the Digital Window for rentals. The Property Registry will carry out the procedure. Landlords will submit the corresponding application and the required documentation at the electronic headquarters of the College of Registrars. 

Once it has been verified that the property complies with the requirements and regulations for short-term rentals, the owner will receive a registration number.

The registration number is valid for one year. After this period, it will be necessary to request renewal. It will also be required to provide a list of all the rentals carried out during the year.

The creation of the digital single window responds to the need to adapt to the European regulatory framework. It intends to ensure greater transparency in the short-term holiday rental market.  Registration will be mandatory for those owners who want to advertise their properties on online platforms which will have to display this registration number in their advertisements. Those that do not include it must get removed.
