Holiday rental software in Seville
Seville was one of the first Andalusian cities to use Decree 31/2024 to limit tourist homes. If you have a holiday rental in the centre or Triana, or plan to open one, this is what changes.
What you need to know in Seville
10% cap per neighbourhood
On 17 October 2024 the City Council gave final approval to a cap of 10% tourist homes over the family homes in each area. Where it is already reached, no new ones are authorised; elsewhere, only up to 10%.

Neighbourhoods with no new registrations
In the area already above 10%: Santa Cruz, Arenal, Alfalfa, San Bartolomé, Feria, Encarnación, Regina, Santa Catalina, San Lorenzo, San Gil, San Vicente and traditional Triana. The measure is reviewed one year after it takes effect and then every 4 years.

Licence suspension
In July 2025 the Junta listed Seville among the councils that had agreed to suspend licences and responsible declarations for tourist homes while amending their zoning plans.
Official figures
11,372 tourist homes registered in the province and 9,543 in the city (October 2026). INE counted 8,497 listings in the province and 6,937 in the city in May 2026.

Seville is city tourism all year round, peaking at Easter and the April Fair, with less demand in high summer because of the heat: exactly when air conditioning is mandatory if you rent.
Rules common to all of Andalusia
On top of each municipality's own rules, every tourist home in Andalusia has these obligations.
Registration in the Andalusian Tourism Register
Before renting you must file a responsible declaration with the Junta, using a digital certificate. The home gets a code in the format VUT/SE/ plus a number, which must appear in all advertising, including Airbnb or Booking. Old VFT codes remain valid: only the letters change.

Minimum requirements for the home
Since Decree 31/2024: at least 14 m² built per guest place, air conditioning in bedrooms and living room if rented from May to August, heating if rented from December to March, and two bathrooms from 6 places (three from 9).
Town councils can set limits
They can cap the number of tourist homes per building or area (Decree 31/2024) and, while they change their zoning plan, suspend new registrations in the whole municipality or in specific areas for up to 3 years (art. 6 of Decree-Law 1/2025).

Zoning compatibility in the declaration
Since March 2025 the responsible declaration includes the cadastral reference, the home's zoning compatibility and, where required, the owners' association's authorisation. One home per cadastral reference.
Guest registration within 24 hours
Every booking and every traveller must be reported to the Ministry of the Interior through SES.Hospedajes within 24 hours, and the data are kept for 3 years.

National Single Register, annulled
In 2026 the Supreme Court annulled the Single Rental Register of Royal Decree 1312/2024 and its mandatory number. The Andalusian Tourism Register is still mandatory.

No tourist tax
As of October 2026 there is no tourist tax in Andalusia. The regional president would only consider one if a national law provides a common framework.
