Regulation
Requirements and registration procedure
The Generalitat de Cataluña regulates tourist lets (Viviendas de Uso Turístico) and requires that they appear in the Tourist Register of Catalonia (Registro de Turismo de Cataluña), and that the identification number of the Register is shown in the advertisement for the accommodation. To register your tourist accommodation, you must present an affidavit and ensure that the property complies with a series of requirements:
– it must be rented out as one single unit, not room by room.
– the maximum amount of time the property can be rented to the same tourist is thirty-one consecutive days.
– you must guarantee a support service for the traveller and maintenance of the property.
– pay the tax on stays in tourist establishments (Impuesto sobre las Estancias en Establecimientos Turísticos or IEET).
To ensure that you meet all these requirements and to learn more about the registration process, we recommend that you consult this section which aims to clear up the main doubts and questions about tourist lets.
You can also go to the Dirección General de Turismo.

Travelers’ registration
In Catalonia, according to the current legislation, vacation rentals are obliged to register the data of all the travelers staying and communicate this information to the police / Mossos d’esquadra.
If you need to check the registration or registered data, get to know how to register your location or learn how to send them the travelers’ data, we recommend you check the Mossos d’Esquadra website, section “Services and procedures”.
