Holiday Rental Compliance in Valencia
Tourist dwelling registration, SES Hospedajes guest registration, and NRA compliance — we manage the rules for Valencia city and the surrounding province.
Compliance for Valencia holiday rentals
Valencia is one of Spain's fastest-growing city-break destinations, and its short-term rental market has expanded rapidly across neighbourhoods like Ciutat Vella, Ruzafa, El Cabanyal, and the seafront. All tourist rental activity in Valencia falls under the Comunitat Valenciana's tourist dwelling registration system, administered by the Generalitat Valenciana — the same framework that applies on the Costa Blanca and in Alicante.
Valencia city has taken one of the toughest stances in Spain on tourist apartments. The Ayuntamiento has frozen new tourist-use licences across much of the municipality and stepped up inspections of unregistered lettings. Combined with the national SES Hospedajes requirement (Royal Decree 933/2021, in force since December 2024), this makes documented, up-to-date compliance essential for anyone renting in the city.
Every guest over 14 must have their ID data submitted to SES Hospedajes within 24 hours of arrival, regardless of booking channel or length of stay. Valencia is subject to mainland Spain's tax rules — IRPF on rental income, with IVA at 10% where hotel-like services are provided. From January 2025, all listings must also display a national NRA number alongside the regional registration number.
Legal requirements for Valencia rental owners
Tourist Dwelling Registration (Comunitat Valenciana)
Properties in Valencia must be registered as tourist accommodation with the Generalitat Valenciana's tourism registry via a declaració responsable. New tourist-use licences are heavily restricted within Valencia city — confirm your property is in an eligible zone before applying.
NRA Registration
From January 2025, all Spanish holiday rentals must also display a national Número de Registro de Alquiler from the VUDA system, in addition to the regional registration number, on every listing platform.
SES Hospedajes Guest Registration
Under Royal Decree 933/2021, ID data for every guest over 14 must be submitted within 24 hours of arrival. Valencia's active municipal inspectorate makes timely, documented submissions especially important.
Income Tax / IVA
Valencia is subject to mainland Spanish tax rules. Rental income is subject to IRPF. IVA at 10% may apply if hotel-like services are included in the rental.

Frequently asked questions
Can I still get a tourist licence for an apartment in Valencia city?
New tourist-use licences are severely restricted across much of Valencia city, particularly in Ciutat Vella and other high-pressure districts where the Ayuntamiento has frozen new authorisations. Eligibility depends on the specific zone and building. We recommend confirming your property's status with the Generalitat Valenciana and the municipality before listing.
Does SES Hospedajes apply to a city-centre apartment in Valencia?
Yes. Royal Decree 933/2021 applies to all tourist accommodation in Valencia, including city-centre apartments. You must submit each guest's ID data within 24 hours of arrival, regardless of how the booking was made or how short the stay is.
Do I need both a regional registration number and an NRA number in Valencia?
Yes. From 2025, listings must display both the Comunitat Valenciana regional registration number and the national NRA number. Both must appear on Airbnb, Booking.com, and any other platform — failure to display them can lead to your listing being removed.
Can Villa Check In manage guest registration for my Valencia property?
Yes. Villa Check In provides fully managed SES Hospedajes guest registration for properties across Valencia city and the wider province. We send guests automated reminders, collect their ID data, submit it within the 24-hour window, and retain the compliance records for the required period.
