Owner Compliance Spain

Can Simply Owners tell me which licence I need?

We cannot advise on legal specifics.

Your local Ayuntamiento or regional Tourist Office will confirm the exact licence required.

I rent for longer than 30/60 days, do I still need a licence?

Spain distinguishes tourist stays from seasonal rentals.

If your rental is considered “tourist use”, a licence is usually required regardless of duration.

Many properties on online travel agents (OTA's) don’t show licence numbers, why?

Some properties and areas in rare cases can be considered exempt by the authorities

Many non-compliant listings still appear on large platforms.

However, Spanish authorities are enforcing licence display requirements more strictly, and listings without numbers are being removed.

What if my region temporarily stops issuing licences?

You can only list the property if you already hold a valid licence.

Moratoriums do not allow new tourist rentals.

What if my property doesn’t need a licence?

Some rare cases (certain rural homes or long-term rentals) fall outside tourist regulation.

We require written confirmation to ensure your listing remains active.
