Tourist Licence in Torrevieja: rent your home legally and with peace of mind
Renting your property to holidaymakers can be a great source of income, but the rules for tourist homes in the Valencian Community have become stricter and change often. We guide you through every requirement, prepare the paperwork and stay by your side after the licence is granted, so you can enjoy the income without the worry.
We know how it feels
New rules, more checks and a lot of uncertainty
Many owners come to us confused: Does my property meet the requirements? Do I need my neighbours' approval? Which registration numbers do I need, and where do I get them? What happens if I am already renting? With regional, national and municipal rules all involved, it is easy to feel lost — and a mistake can mean fines or having your listings removed.
For more than 25 years we have helped owners on the Costa Blanca protect their investment. We look at your specific property, tell you honestly whether it can be used for holiday rentals and, if it can, we take care of the whole process with you.
“Your property should work for you, not keep you awake at night.”

Frequently asked questions
Questions about tourist licences
Do I need a tourist licence to rent my property to holidaymakers in Torrevieja?
Yes. To rent a home to tourists in the Valencian Community, the property must be registered in the regional Tourism Register, and it also needs the national registration number required to advertise on platforms such as Airbnb or Booking. Renting without them can lead to fines and to your listings being removed.
What are the main requirements in the Valencian Community?
Among other things: a favourable municipal report on urban planning compatibility, a first or second occupancy licence or equivalent, civil liability insurance, an energy performance certificate, a unique cadastral reference for the property and compliance with the minimum standards for tourist homes. We check every point for your specific property before applying.
Do I need permission from my community of owners?
Since 3 April 2025, if your property is in a building with a community of owners, tourist use requires the express approval of the community, adopted by a three-fifths majority. We review your community statutes and help you obtain the correct certificate, because an incomplete document can block the registration.
How long is the tourist registration valid?
Registrations in the Valencian Community are valid for five years and must be renewed with a new declaration before they expire. Otherwise, the property is removed from the register. We keep track of the dates for you.
Can I get a licence if I am a non-resident owner?
Yes. Non-resident owners can register their property for tourist use, and we can manage the whole procedure with a power of attorney, so you do not need to travel. You will need an NIE and will have to declare the rental income to the Spanish Tax Agency.
What obligations do I have once the property is registered?
You must show the registration number in all your adverts, register your guests with the authorities, have complaint forms available, keep your insurance in force and declare the rental income. We explain each obligation clearly and can help you with the tax side every year.
What if my application has been rejected or I have received a fine?
Do not worry and do not let the deadlines pass. We review the reasons, tell you honestly what options you have and, where possible, correct the file or defend your interests before the administration.
