The applicable rules may combine regional tourism regulations, municipal planning rules and the statutes of the homeowners’ association.
You must comply with the regional tourism regulations, which usually require a notice or responsible declaration and entry in the tourist register, in addition to any planning and municipal requirements. Each case should be reviewed before a listing is published or kept online.

A change in the State procedure does not make a property lawful if it lacks the regional or municipal authorization.
Viability depends on the case file, the facts, the available evidence and, above all, the deadlines. It is advisable to review the notification as soon as possible so that no defense route is lost.
