Tourist rental licence services in Ibiza
Our goal is to provide you with an efficient, hassle-free legal service. We handle the entire administrative process, ensuring all legal requirements are met for obtaining your tourist rental licence in Ibiza.
Prior eligibility assessment
Before starting any application, we carry out a full legal review of your property to determine whether it qualifies for an ETV licence. We check whether the property is located within an authorised tourist zone, whether it holds a valid occupancy certificate (cédula de habitabilidad), whether it meets the required energy rating, and whether any outstanding urban planning sanction would block the application. This step protects you from investing time and money in a process that would not succeed.
Filing the Responsible Declaration of Activity (DRIAT)
The process for obtaining a tourist rental licence in Ibiza begins with submitting a Responsible Declaration of Commencement of Tourist Rental Activity (DRIAT) to the competent authorities. We draft and submit this document correctly, attaching all required documentation: occupancy certificate, energy performance certificate, property floor plans, tourist zone certificate and compulsory public liability insurance. Once submitted, you may begin renting your property immediately.
Documentation management and legal compliance
Applying for a holiday rental licence in Ibiza requires gathering and submitting extensive documentation. We coordinate the obtainment of all necessary certificates, check that each document is in order, and verify that the property meets the minimum standards required: floor area, maximum guest capacity, bathroom-to-bedroom ratio, water consumption monitoring systems, minimum public liability insurance of €300,000, and all technical requirements set out under Balearic regulations.
Advice on the moratorium and existing licences
Since February 2022, a moratorium on new tourist rental licences in Ibiza has been in place, running until 2026. During this period, no new ETV licences are being granted on the island. However, certain situations can still be managed: renewal of existing licences, transfer of licences in property sale transactions, regularisation of licences with outstanding issues, and applications in Formentera, where different regulations apply. We advise you on your exact situation and what options are available to you right now.
Transfer of tourist licences in property transactions
When buying or selling a property that already holds a tourist rental licence in Ibiza, the legal management of that transfer is critical to avoid future problems. We verify the actual status of the licence, confirm there are no outstanding sanctions, review whether it is a final or provisional licence, and handle all necessary procedures so the buyer receives the property with the licence fully valid, in good standing and free from hidden encumbrances.
Defence against illegal holiday rental sanctions
Renting a property to tourists without the required licence in Ibiza can result in fines of between €20,000 and €40,000, and even higher in serious cases. If you have received a sanction or an administrative penalty notice for unlicensed tourist rental, we defend you before the competent authorities at the Consell Insular, submit formal objections and appeals, and work to reduce or eliminate the fine. We also advise you on how to regularise your situation and avoid future legal problems.
