Tourist licence in Calpe, Valencia region: what is possible right now.
As of 16 August 2026, Calpe is open to new tourist licences. Whether your property qualifies comes down to the ICU, the urban compatibility certificate, and, in an apartment block, the community of owners vote.
Calpe has no moratorium on tourist licences for homes, and we found no new restriction approved this summer. The measure often confused with one, approved in June 2024, only suspended converting commercial premises into homes; it never blocked tourist licences for existing dwellings, and its own two year term has now run out without the planning change being definitively approved. For an apartment in a block, the community of owners agreement is required under Ley Organica 1/2025.

Can my property in Calpe get a licence?
By Juan Antonio Bertomeu Valles, lawyer, ICALI nº 4643
The Calpe quirk is the commercial premises rule: since June 2024 the town suspended turning shops and other ground-floor premises into homes, precisely to stop conversions aimed at tourist use. A normal home is unaffected, but if the property you are eyeing was ever a commercial unit, its paper trail needs checking before anything else.
Two things decide it. First, the ICU, the urban compatibility certificate, the town hall document confirming your property may be used for tourist rental. Second, in an apartment block, the agreement of the owners community, which under Ley Organica 1/2025 a new tourist licence now needs. Once both are in place, we register your property and you receive your VT number, the regional Valencian tourist licence reference, format VT followed by six digits and a letter. There is no national registry number.

The Calpe licence is a fixed-price service at 599 euros total for a villa, 699 euros for an apartment, VAT included. You upload your documents and we handle the whole licence, reviewed by the lawyer and the tax advisor, and you only sign. Official fees are charged separately.
Calpe is apartment country: most non-resident owners here hold flats near the beaches, which makes the community of owners agreement the real gate, not the town hall. We review the community statutes and the three fifths vote before you commit, and our Moraira office is twenty minutes up the coast.
Once you rent in Calpe
By Daniel Bertomeu, lawyer and tax advisor, AEDAF nº 06838
When you rent your property you must file Modelo 210, the annual non-resident income tax return on your rental income. It is a compliance step, not an extra, and our tax advisor handles it for you at the ordinary price, never dearer for being our client. Separately, when your five year renewal comes round, preparing it is work we do for you.
Calpe tourist licence questions
Is Calpe open to new tourist licences?
Yes. As of July 2026 Calpe is admitting new tourist licences for homes. The 2024 measure that gets quoted as a moratorium only affected converting commercial premises into homes, not licences for existing dwellings.
My Calpe property is an apartment. What is the main hurdle?
The community of owners agreement: under Ley Organica 1/2025 a new tourist licence in an apartment block needs a three fifths majority of the community. We review the statutes and handle the process on the Premium plan.
The property I want was once a shop. Does that matter?
Potentially yes. Calpe suspended converting commercial premises into homes in June 2024, and that measure targets exactly this situation. Whether it still applies to your case needs confirming against the current status, which we do in the free pre-check before you commit.
Do I need to be in Spain or have a digital certificate?
You do not need to sort out a Spanish digital certificate yourself: we issue you one as part of the service, and it is included in the price. Identification is currently in person at our Moraira or Denia office, and remote identification for non residents is expected shortly. Once you have it, you authorise us electronically and we file everything on your behalf.
Will I get a national registry number for my Calpe licence?
No. Following STS 620/2026 of 19 May 2026 the single national registry was annulled. The valid number is the regional one, your VT number, format VT followed by six digits and a letter.
What does the Calpe licence cost?
You start with a 150 euros document review, which gives you a firm written answer on whether your property qualifies. If it does, the Complete service is 599 euros in total for a villa or independent house, and 699 euros in total for an apartment, townhouse or any property inside a community of owners, because there we also handle the three fifths community vote. The 150 euros comes off in full, so 449 euros or 549 euros remains. Every figure includes VAT. Official fees charged by the town hall and the regional government are always separate and passed through at cost. Complex cases are quoted individually in your written answer. Your annual Modelo 210 tax return is a separate service at the ordinary price: you pay the same for it as anybody else does.
