What is a cadastral number?
A cadastral number is a unique identifier assigned to every property in Spain by the General Cadastral Registry (Catastro). It serves as a precise identification of a property within the cadastral system and is essential for many property-related procedures, including applying for a tourist license.
Every property owner has a cadastral number, which can be found in the notarial deed of property purchase. It can also be found on the “Certificado Catastral” document or in the online system of the General Cadastral Registry. If you’re unsure where to find this number, you can also contact the local cadastral office to obtain the necessary information.
The cadastral number is crucial for maintaining the tourist license in the Region of Valencia. Therefore, it is important to ensure that all your data is correct and updated.
