      Spain - Valencia

      The Valencian Government requires by law that registration numbers for your properties are displayed on each rental listing (Viviendas Turisticas).
       
       It is now compulsory for all tourist accommodation establishments, including Viviendas Turisticas, to register their property in the Registro de Empresas, Establecimientos y Profesiones Turísticas (Register for tourist businesses, establishments and professionals).
       
       Once you have your inscription number (Rental License number), it must be included in all advertising you do for the property. Failure to include your inscription in your advertising could lead to fines for both owner and advertising channel.

      Who should apply?

      It is mandatory for all property managers, even if you rent out only one accommodation, to register the accommodation as a rental property.
       
      If you manage 2-4 properties, you must register each individual property.
       
      If you manage five or more properties, then you must register as an ‘Empresa’ (business), rather than as an individual and include your generic inscription number, not individual property registration numbers.

      Specific rules for Valencian Community

      Registrations are accepted for apartments, studio apartments, villas, chalets, bungalows and other similar properties. Your home will need to meet the technical requirements and standards, as set out within the decree, based on its category i.e. Standard, Primary and Superior.

      Registration options for your holiday rental

      Option One

      You can apply for the inscription in any government administrative office, but it is recommended to use one of the following offices:

      • Registro del Servicio Territorial de Turismo - Castellón

      Option Two

      You can also fill out your application and take it to the post office. You must take the application in an open envelope. This is so they can stamp and date your application.
       
      Once the property is registered, you must include the registration number and category type in all advertising and promotion of the property.

      If your property is managed by an accredited agent, the code will differ slightly:
