On July 9, 2018, a law amendment has taken place that obliges anyone who owns a property in Spain and wants to rent out this property to have a rental permit.
Regulations regarding this rental permit may vary per province, but because our office is located in the province of Valencia, we will limit ourselves to the regulations of the Comunidad Valencia.
Because the application for this rental permit is quite a complex and time-consuming affair in which various steps must be taken, we are happy to take this work off your hands.
To apply for the rental permit and to obtain your own registration number, our office must be in possession of:
- Copy of passport
- Copy NIE number
- Copy of SUMA bill
- Copy of the Declaration of habitability (Declaration responsable de segunda ocupación) .If you are not in possession of this certificate, we can organize this for you.
- Compatibility certificate from the municipality where the property is located (certificado de compatabilidad urbanística alojamientos turísticos)
- This document can also be organized by our office.
- Description of the property, together with the layout and the number rooms present.
- Signed authorization that gives us the opportunity to request the rental permit and registration number on your behalf.
When you are in possession of the rental permit and the registration number, you will receive an official sign with this number. This sign must then be attached to your home in the vicinity of your front door.
In addition, the details of all your tenants must be passed on to the local police in the future through an online registration.
To obtain a username and login details for this database, you must report to the local police station where the property is located.
As a property owner in Spain who rents out his property, you must also fill in a TAX declaration form in Spain on a 3-monthly basis.
More about this under the TAX DECLARATION RENTAL INCOME item.
The price for applying for the rental permit and obtaining the registration number is
299, — Euro (excluding 21 % IVA) **
** If additional documents are required for the application, such as the organization of a declaration of habitability, additional costs may be charged. This amount applies to real estate located in the Orihuela - Orihuela Costa region.
When applying for a rental permit and registration number in the Torrevieja region, an additional tax of € 55 must be paid.
