Regulations / Extremadura
Short-term rental rules in Extremadura
No autonomous figure distinct from "apartamento turístico" was found for "vivienda de uso turística" (VUT): the Junta de Extremadura regulates both under the tourist-apartment category (blocks of homes, apartments, houses, and similar buildings let for payment with tourist lodging service and their own kitchen), pending — per secondary sources — a VUT-specific rule that wasn't confirmed as approved.

Fines
We haven't yet confirmed the exact fine amounts for Extremadura against an official source — The figures came from a search that cited noticias.juridicas.com, but that page couldn't be opened directly from this environment to independently verify the exact statutory text (SSL certificate error). Marked as not independently verified against a primary source, though the figures are internally consistent (sequential, non-overlapping tiers) and match the usual pattern of similar regional tourism laws.. Check your region's tourism portal for the current detail.

Verification notes
Verified on 2026-07-16. Base regulation (Ley 2/2011, Ley 6/2018, Decretos 182/2012 and 205/2012) and the registration procedure were confirmed via BOE, DOE, and juntaex.es. Notable finding: unlike most regions, no evidence was found that Extremadura has a legally distinct 'vivienda de uso turística' (VUT) figure separate from 'apartamento turístico' — the Junta de Extremadura itself defers to tourist-apartment rules 'until a specific VUT regulation is approved,' which wasn't found to have been approved as of this verification. This is an important structural difference versus Andalucía, Madrid, Cataluña, etc.: there's no standalone 'VUT' figure with its own registration code. Not found in a public official source: the exact penalty breakdown, and any municipal layer in the region's large cities (Badajoz, Cáceres, Mérida) — no municipal VUT/tourist-apartment ordinance was found for these cities.
