Toledo

A targeted amendment to Toledo's General Urban Development Plan (initial approval 22 Nov 2024; final approval published in the Toledo Provincial Official Bulletin on 7 March 2025) caps tourist-use homes at 12% of the residential housing stock, applying not just to the historic old town but to other neighborhoods too. Transitional rule: homes already registered with the regional registry before the public information process (or with the process already underway) are exempt from the Zone 1 (historic old town) caps, but had to file a notice of activity with the city council within 6 months of the definitive approval's publication (deadline: 7 Sept 2025). Enforcement confirmed: a 13 Feb 2026 resolution from the Dirección General de Seguridad Jurídica y Fe Pública (BOE-A-2026-12151) upheld a Toledo property registrar's refusal to assign a short-term rental registration number because compliance with these municipal planning requirements hadn't been proven — meaning the municipal filter is already blocking new registrations at the Land Registry level.
