An informative space to understand how holiday-home regulation has evolved in the Canary Islands. This is not legal advice: it is general information to help you ask better questions about your own case.
We provide our services exclusively in Fuerteventura.
Regulation of holiday homes in the Autonomous Community of the Canary Islands. It is the framework under which many homes began operating through a responsible declaration, and it remains essential to understand their original authorisation.
Law on the Sustainable Regulation of Tourist Use of Housing. It establishes a new regulatory framework, with different procedures and transitional regimes for existing homes.
Published in the Official Gazette of the Canary Islands on 14 August 2026, it amends the new framework with adjustments affecting, among other matters, certain procedures, classified activities and transitional situations.
The 2026 amendment sets a deadline of 31 July 2027 for certain legally included cases, relating to homes that had already submitted their responsible declaration but not the prior notification of classified activities. Whether this deadline applies depends on the circumstances of the property, its administrative records and compliance with the legally established requirements.
We will publish regulatory changes, administrative notices and practical content here, explained simply and without alarmism.
Follow-up on the changes affecting tourist accommodation on the island and on the communications published by the authorities.
Plain explanations of how procedures are organised and which documents usually come into play, without inventing deadlines or obligations.

This information is general and informative. For a legal interpretation of your specific situation you should consult a qualified professional.
