Fines
We haven't yet confirmed the exact fine amounts for Región de Murcia against an official source — Retried on 2026-07-16: three different figure sets turned up in secondary sources: (a) €300–3,000 / €3,001–10,000 / €10,001–30,000 (attributed to Decreto 256/2019); (b) €200–5,000 / €5,001–30,000 / €30,001–400,000 (attributed to Ley 12/2013, with a plausible-sounding competence breakdown: Director General resolves up to €30,000, ITREM President up to €100,000, Consejo de Gobierno above that); (c) a separate search cited €1,001–10,000 for serious infractions, inconsistent with the others. Primary text couldn't be accessed to resolve the discrepancy (SSL/connection failures on noticias.juridicas.com, asambleamurcia.es and unav.ws). Left unverified until confirmed against BORM or the consolidated BOE text.. Check your region's tourism portal for the current detail.

Verification notes
Verified on 2026-07-16. Base regulation (Decreto 256/2019, BORM No. 242 of 19-10-2019, and Ley 12/2013) and the registration procedure (ITREM, sede.carm.es) were confirmed. Minimum room-composition requirements and the €300,000 civil liability insurance requirement were confirmed against the decree's text via search. Not found in a public official source: exact fine brackets (conflicting sources), minimum surface in m² (no reliable figure found despite several searches — some unverified sources mention 30 m² but it couldn't be corroborated against the official text), a specific municipal layer for Murcia city or Cartagena (no concrete ordinance found, left as an empty list), the latest regional reform of the decree (none found for 2024-2026; only nationwide changes such as the April 2025 LPH reform and the national Unified Rental Registry under RD 1312/2024, neither Murcia-specific).
