Haría starts checking every holiday let. Here is what owners need before 31 July 2027

Haría town hall has approved a plan to check every holiday let in the municipality. The mayor's decree, no. 1821/2026, is dated 11 September 2026 and was published in the Boletín Oficial de la Provincia de Las Palmas on 18 September.

The plan covers the holiday lets that were already operating before the Canary holiday-let law, Ley 6/2025, came into force on 13 December 2025. Haría counts 465 holiday lets with 1,834 beds.

What the town hall will check

The plan runs in two stages over four years. First, a check of the paperwork: the owner's declaration to the Cabildo, and the town-hall filings and licences that apply, with special attention to the rules on "classified activities". Where there are signs of risk or irregularity, staff can visit. The second stage checks the homes themselves against technical, planning and safety conditions. Homes are taken in order of how long they have been registered.

Where a home falls short, the plan allows the town hall to require the owner to correct it or regularise it.

The law required every town hall to approve such a plan by 13 August 2026. Haría's decree notes it was approved after that date and applies at once.

The filing many owners have missed

The checks matter because of a separate deadline. Owners who declared their holiday let to the Cabildo before 13 December 2025, but never filed the town-hall "comunicación previa de actividad clasificada", have until 31 July 2027 to do it (Ley 6/2025, tenth transitional provision, added by Ley 7/2026). Without it they must stop letting, and letting after the deadline can be fined €15,000 to €150,000.

The holiday-let (VV) registration number is not the same thing. It comes from the Cabildo. The town-hall filing is a second step.

What owners in Haría need

Haría publishes no holiday-let document list. As a minimum, owners need a planning certificate from the town hall and a technical report signed by a building surveyor or architect, with plans and photos. Haría's forms page has a general classified-activity form (no. 21) and a planning-certificate request (no. 15). We found no published fee for the filing in Haría.

The planning certificate is usually the slowest document, so owners should ask for it now.

A free checker

Licence Keeper, a free bilingual website, asks seven questions and tells owners whether the deadline applies to them and which documents their town asks for. It covers all seven Lanzarote towns: licence-keeper.pages.dev/haria.html.
