The practical compliance library for Spanish vacation rentals.
SES.Hospedajes, Modelo 210, IEET, LAU contracts, Mossos registration — explained with citations to primary sources (BOE, AEAT, ATIB) and concrete quarterly deadlines.

Three side-by-side tables covering definition, procedure, processing time and sanctions per autonomous community. Essential before you buy or before you switch jurisdiction.
Quick definitions — one per term.
The essential terms of Spanish vacation rental — licence, registers, taxes, contracts, legal risks. Each with three paragraphs and direct links to the BOE.
We cite primary sources only.
Every compliance article ends with a verifiable list of links to BOE, AEAT, ATIB, Mossos d'Esquadra or the relevant Generalitat. No "according to a source": Spanish hosts make decisions that affect their taxes and the legal status of their property — that terrain deserves real references.
Frequently asked questions
Is PropertyHost.es a booking platform?
No. PropertyHost.es is the compliance library for Spanish vacation rentals. The SaaS product (management, SES automation, contracts) lives at propertyhost.app.
When are all pillar articles published?
All seven compliance pillars (SES.Hospedajes, Modelo 210, NRUA, EU Regulation 2024/1028, IEET, LAU, Mossos) are live, alongside the regional guides (Costa Blanca, Balearics, Catalonia, Andalusia, Madrid, Canary Islands), in seven native-quality languages.
Are the cited sources official?
Yes — primary sources only. We cite BOE (consolidated legal texts), AEAT (tax models), ATIB (Balearics), Mossos d'Esquadra (Catalonia) and the relevant Generalitat.
Why seven languages and not twenty?
Seven native-quality languages (ES master, NL/EN/DE/FR/IT/PT reviewed) instead of twenty machine-translated. A compliance text with BOE citations doesn't forgive "almost right" translations.
PropertyHost.app — the software that automates this.
