English-speaking property solicitor · Menorca
Having the licence is not the same as being compliant.
The licence lets you rent your property. But it does not protect you. Behind it lies a chain of fiscal, administrative and technical obligations that most owners know nothing about, and that holiday-rental companies never review. The authorities do not send warnings when something goes wrong; they act directly. Knowing exactly what is required is the whole point.
Tourist Licence in Menorca
Non-compliance in tourist rentals in the Balearic Islands carries some of the highest penalties in Spain. But there is something worse than a fine: licence revocation. A licence that took months or years to obtain, cancelled over something that could have been regularised in time. The problem is almost never bad faith; it is simply not knowing exactly what is required.

The Solution
Many owners with a tourist licence assume everything is in order. The reality is that most have no idea whether they genuinely meet all the regulatory requirements. This report gives you a clear answer: you will know exactly where your licence stands and whether anything puts it at risk.
Buying or selling with a licence
With new licences very limited, the realistic way to hold one is to buy a property that already has it. The licence transfers with the property, but before buying you must verify it is in order and not in a non-use situation, and afterwards handle the change of holder and operator. That is exactly what we check and manage in the transaction.

Frequently asked
It is the official licence required to legally rent a home to tourists in the Balearic Islands. Holding it is not the same as complying with all the fiscal, administrative and technical obligations that come with it.
Not necessarily. Behind the licence there is a chain of obligations, and failing them can lead to penalties or even revocation. The status report tells you exactly where you stand and whether anything puts the licence at risk.
In practice, almost never. New licences are very limited: the realistic routes are the temporary quota pool or a narrow set of cases for homes in areas with very specific planning characteristics. For most owners, the realistic option is to buy a property that already holds a licence.
Yes. Every licence is transferable and it transfers with the property. But it then requires several formalities: changing the holder and the operator, with the prior requirements met. So before buying, due diligence on the licence is essential: confirming it meets every requirement and is not in a non-use situation under Balearic Decree-law 4/2025, so you do not acquire a licence that could later be cancelled.
