Procedure and regulations
First of all, we must have a technical certificate of habitability that accredits that the property is fit for habitation.
Once we have this certificate, we proceed to request the urban development compatibility report for tourist dwellings.
Finally, if the resolution of the previous report is favourable, we have to register our property as a tourist dwelling with the Generalitat Valenciana.
1. License of second occupation
This is a document issued by a technician, such as an architect or quantity surveyor, which verifies that the home meets certain standards of habitability and safety.
These certificates are usually necessary to demonstrate that a home meets the legal and quality requirements necessary to be lived in safely and comfortably.
2. Informe de Compatibilidad Urbanística
Since 2018, the power to grant tourist licenses has been in the hands of the local councils. This report is the permission that has to be granted by the town hall in order to be able to obtain the tourist license for our property.
It is usually the most complicated step, as not all properties can obtain this report in order to obtain the license.
The good thing? The Cullera Town Hall is quite flexible and grants the majority of the houses the positive report of urbanistic compatibility.
3. Registration of tourist rental license the Generalitat Valenciana
Finally, you will have to register with Tourism. In addition, you will need a digital certificate and home insurance.
This is the quickest part of the process; however, it is advisable to get a professional to avoid any problems.
