Tourist licence in Canet d'en Berenguer, Valencia region: what is possible right now.
As of 8 July 2026, Canet d'en Berenguer is suspended across the whole town. Whether your property qualifies comes down to the ICU, the urban compatibility certificate, and, in an apartment block, the community of owners vote.
Canet d'en Berenguer suspended the granting of building and change-of-use licences for tourist accommodation across the whole municipality by council decision of 5 December 2024, and paused the issuing of the tourist compatibility report as well. Hotels under Decreto 10/2021 are excluded from the suspension. A draft amendment of the urban plan was published in the DOGV on 18 December 2024. The suspension runs until the town approves its own regulation.

Can my property in Canet d'en Berenguer get a licence?
By Juan Antonio Bertomeu Valles, lawyer, ICALI nº 4643
Canet d'en Berenguer is one of the few towns on this coast that closed the door entirely: not a typology limit, not a zone cap, but a full suspension while it writes its own rules. Most of its roughly 560 licences sit along the beach. For a new applicant the town is paused, so the value now is being ready and correctly positioned for the day the regulation lands.
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 ICU step at Canet d'en Berenguer town hall
The ICU is the bottleneck. It typically takes 1 to 3 months, and everything else depends on it, so we start it first and manage it for you.
- Municipal ICU fee
- Not published online by the town hall; the tourist compatibility report is currently suspended
- Typical timeline
- Suspended while the moratorium runs
- How it is filed
- Filed with Canet d'en Berenguer town hall. While the suspension runs the tourist compatibility report is not being issued, so for now the realistic play is to prepare the file and watch for the town's own regulation, which we monitor.

Once you rent in Canet d'en Berenguer
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.
Canet d'en Berenguer tourist licence questions
Can I get a new tourist licence in Canet d'en Berenguer right now?
No. The town suspended new tourist accommodation licences across the whole municipality on 5 December 2024, and it also paused the compatibility report, until it approves its own regulation. We can prepare your file now and monitor the new rules so you are ready the moment it reopens.
Why is Canet fully closed when other towns are not?
Each town sets its own course. Canet chose a full suspension while it drafts a plan, rather than a typology or zone limit. It is the clearest example of why checking your exact municipality matters before you buy or apply.
I already rent in Canet. Am I affected?
Activity already registered under the tourism rules keeps its position; the suspension targets NEW licences. Keeping your registration alive through the five year renewal is what protects it, and preparing that renewal is work we do for you when the time comes.
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 Canet 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 will the Canet licence cost when it reopens?
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.
