This report will be issued by the municipality where the property is located for the sole purpose of the relevant department of the Regional Administration responsible for tourism having record of the urban compatibility for tourist use of the property according to the applicable urban planning regulations. Consequently, the issuance of this report, even if favorable, does not replace any other licenses, authorizations, enabling titles, or other urban, environmental, or opening intervention instruments required for its use as a tourist property.
2. For tourism purposes, instead of the municipal report on urban compatibility for tourist use, a favorable certificate issued by municipal administration’s collaborating entities in the verification of urban actions (ECUV) may be provided, as long as the municipal planning is zoned and contains provisions on tourist-use homes.
This certificate will have the same validity and effects as the aforementioned report and must reflect the same minimum content.
3. If the homes intended for tourist use are located on non-developable land, in addition to the municipal report on urban compatibility for tourist use or an equivalent document, they must obtain, prior to their registration in the Registry, a declaration of community interest that grants the corresponding use and tourist exploitation or, where applicable, prove that exemption has been processed, as well as the corresponding environmental intervention instrument in accordance with current urban planning legislation, if applicable.

In this case, their owners must have the first occupancy license or subsequent ones or the equivalent enabling title provided for in Decree 12/2021, of January 22, of the Regional Government regulating the responsible declaration for the first occupancy and subsequent occupancy of homes.
2. Tourist-use homes located in commercial premises within newly constructed buildings must comply with the design and quality standards in force in the Valencian Community applicable to residential buildings. In these cases, their owners must obtain all required urban and environmental enabling titles necessary for the exercise of the activity.
3. Translation:
Tourist-use accommodations established in commercial spaces within existing buildings, regardless of whether they result from a change of use, must comply with the design and quality standards applicable to residential buildings, specifically concerning the relationship between different spaces or rooms, linear dimensions, horizontal and vertical circulation, ventilation and lighting openings, parking, and the ventilation and lighting of both the accommodations and the building. In these cases, owners must obtain all necessary urban planning and environmental permits required to operate.
To facilitate the adaptation of these commercial spaces to tourist use and to ensure the quality of the tourism offering, when it is not possible to fully meet all the above requirements, the following flexibility criteria will be allowed:
a) Regarding linear dimensions, the overlapping of inscribed shapes for furniture will be permitted as long as it does not prevent the intended use based on the tourist accommodation’s occupancy.
b) If a room cannot fully meet the natural lighting and/or ventilation requirements, or if the intended tourist accommodation does not have patios with the dimensions defined by the design and quality regulations, additional measures will be implemented to ensure compliance, such as, but not limited to:
1. The creation of additional light wells where possible.
2. The provision of a larger surface area for lighting and ventilation to the exterior than required by regulations, situated in both common areas and accommodation areas.
3. Natural lighting and ventilation through translucent facades, roof windows, polycarbonate domes, skylights, ceiling light wells, and tubular skylights.
4. Installation of forced ventilation systems with or without integrated heat recovery, which will provide a sufficient flow of outdoor air and ensure the extraction and expulsion of stale air, complying with the indoor air quality requirements established in the Thermal Installations Regulation of Buildings, approved by Royal Decree 1027/2007, of July 20.
In such cases, a competent technician must certify that, due to the impossibility of fully complying with the design and quality requirements, supplementary measures or elements have been implemented to compensate for this deficiency. All of this will be documented in a descriptive technical report.
c) In the case of commercial spaces on the ground floor, if there are areas that cannot comply with the above provisions, they must be separated from the resulting tourist accommodations, with this being noted in the Property Registry. Access to these areas can only be enabled through the building’s common areas.
4. The supervision and control of compliance with the conditions mentioned in the preceding sections, as well as the functionality, accessibility, structural safety, fire safety, and usage safety requirements regulated by the building technical code and other applicable regulations, will be the responsibility of the municipalities as part of the processing of licenses, authorizations, enabling titles, or urban, environmental, or operational permits required in each case, either directly or through the involvement of entities collaborating with the municipal administration.
5. Without prejudice to the conditions indicated in the previous sections, tourist-use accommodations must comply with the minimum requirements established in Annex III, whose supervision and control are the responsibility of the department of the Consell’s administration competent in tourism matters.
