Italy's New Holiday Rental Rules: Securing Your National Identification Code (CIN)

Save* 1 comment

As of September 1st, 2024, owning a property in Italy for short-term tourist lets requires a national identification code (CIN). Parliament approved this rule last December to combat tax evasion and alleviate housing shortages in major Italian cities.

Discover how to get a CIN for your Italian property in our simple guide.

The CIN must be visible from the exterior of the property, displayed on the front door or doorbell, and listed on the accommodation's website and any online or social media listings. Failure to comply may result in fines up to €8,000; however, sanctions won't be enforced until November 2nd.

The Italian Ministry of Tourism provides the following steps to obtain a CIN:

  1. Log in to the Tourism Ministry's online platform:
  2. Navigate to the Banca Dati delle Strutture Ricettive (BDSR), available in English and Italian.
  3. Use your Single Digital Identity (SPID) or Italy's electronic ID card credentials to access. If you don't have these credentials, set up an account via the Ministry's registration link.
  4. Select your property:
  5. Log in, and your associated properties should appear.
  6. If a property isn't listed, run a search using the regional identification code (CIR).
  7. If not found, complete and submit a missing structure report (segnalazione di struttura mancante) for the property.
  8. Complete your property's information sheet:
  9. Make sure all displayed data is accurate, with required fields marked by an asterisk.
  10. If some mandatory boxes are empty, manually input the necessary information.
  11. Complete the self-certification form on safety measures:
  12. Certify adherence to the health and safety measures outlined in decree 145/2023.
  13. Submit your request:
  14. After accepting the GDPR data treatment terms, submit your CIN request.
  15. You'll receive a confirmation email, and your CIN will be displayed on your property's 'detail sheet' in the platform.

[1] Regional Identification Code (CIR) Requirement

[2] New CIN Rule Effective Date

  1. To comply with Italy's new holiday rental rules, you might need to rent a home or a property in Venice, an Italian city, that has a clear CIN (National Identification Code) displayed.
  2. If you own an Italian property in a city like Rome or Florence for short-term tourist lets, it's essential to get a CIN, as failure to comply might lead to fines of up to €8,000.
  3. Bureaucracy can be a part of securing a CIN for your Italian property, as the Italian Ministry of Tourism's platform, BDSR, requires you to log in using SPID or Italy's electronic ID card credentials.
  4. Moreover, for an Italian property in any region, having a CIR (Regional Identification Code) is a prerequisite for obtaining a CIN in many cases.
  5. The new European Union guidelines for vacation rentals in Italy may include these rules for the rental of properties not just in popular tourist cities like Naples but also in smaller towns or countryside locations, like Tuscany.
  6. Once you've obtained a CIR and CIN for your Italian property, you might appreciate the lifestyle that comes with owning a home-and-garden in Italy, surrounded by the beauty and charm that the country has to offer.
