Canary Islands Holiday Rental Laws 2026: NRA & N2 Compliance

2026 introduces mandatory annual reporting for NRA holders and new compliance risks for holiday rentals in the Canary Islands. Property owners must meet the February to March reporting deadline, display NRA numbers, and align with the Sustainable Planning Law to keep listings active.

Key Changes for 2026:

N2 Reporting Deadline

NRA holders must file the Annual Informative Declaration between February 1st and March 2nd, 2026.

NRA Number Display

All listings must display the national NRA number on platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com.

Sustainable Planning Law

New zoning rules include the 90/10 housing split and a 10-year age requirement for new rentals.

Community Veto

Community owners can prohibit rentals with a 3/5ths majority vote under the 2025 amendment.

Important for Property Owners: Missing the N2 deadline risks NRA revocation and immediate delisting by booking platforms.

Current Compliance Requirements:

N2 Annual Reporting: Submit 2025 booking data by March 2nd, 2026
NRA Display: Show the national NRA number on all advertisements
VV License: Maintain regional licensing and zoning eligibility
Community Rules: Confirm community approval status and avoid veto risks
Guest Registration: Continue SES.HOSPEDAJES reporting within 24 hours
