Guide

Quick summary

There are three key pillars to legally operate a tourist dwelling in Alajar: responsible declaration before the Junta de Andalucía with a properly identified operating company; registration on the SES Platform for guest reporting; and registration of the licence in the Land Registry (NRA). Since 03/04/2025 Homeowners’ Association authorisation is required for new licences or changes of holder (for changes of holder there are strategies to avoid requiring such permission in certain scenarios).

With the Responsible Declaration filed you can start, subject to review. For a change of holder, the stamped receipt usually allows continuity of the activity while it is being resolved.

Roadmap

Steps to obtain the tourist licence in Alajar

  1. Community verification
    • Review by-laws and minutes. If authorisation is required (since 03/04/2025 for new licences/changes), request it with the proper agenda item.
    • If there is a dubious or generic prohibition, consider challenging it or exploring comparable uses.
  2. Urban and municipal review
    • Check compatibility with Alajar planning and ordinances (noise, waste, nuisance transmission, accessibility, capacity).
    • Identify whether there are moratoria, quotas or stressed zones.
  3. Technical preparation of the property
    • Habitability: ventilation, blackout, climate control, furnishings according to capacity.
    • Safety: first-aid kit, smoke detectors, recommended fire extinguisher, basic evacuation plan.
  4. Define the operating company
    • If you are not the owner, draft and sign an operating contract with subrogation and termination clauses.

    • Attach the required documentation (see “Checklist” section).

    • Test sending a guest report in a real setting.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the tourist licence in Alajar

Does the licence expire when selling the dwelling?

No. The licence is real (linked to the property) if objective conditions are maintained and the holder/operator is updated.

Can I operate while processing the change of holder?

With a filing receipt or online acknowledgement, in practice it is usually possible to continue, unless there are specific requirements.

Is the SES Platform mandatory?

Yes, since 02/12/2024. You must report guest check-ins and keep information in accordance with the regulations.

Do I need independent utilities or access?

Depends on local criteria. Several requirements are debatable; we analyse the specific case of Alajar and propose solutions.

Is the Homeowners’ Association authorisation essential?

For new licences and changes since 03/04/2025, yes. It is not retroactive for licences already legally granted.

What if my flat does not meet the minimum m²?

There may be interpretative criteria or alternative uses. We review the type and documentation before ruling it out.

How do I manage noise and complaints?

Clear house rules, non-intrusive noise sensors, 24/7 assistance, early mediation and incident logging.

What insurance do I need?

Recommended specific RC and multi-risk that includes tourist use, guest damage and loss of income.

How does it affect taxes?

Depends on the regime (seasonal rental vs. para-hotel services). We review VAT/PIT/CIT and withholdings.

Can platforms unpublish my listing?

Yes, if there are data inconsistencies or unmet requirements. Keep the tourist number and, since 01/07/2025, the NRA updated where applicable.
