National Identification Code (CIN) for Short-Term Rentals in Italy: New Regulations and Obligations for Property Owners

Starting from January 1, 2025, it became mandatory for all property owners with short-term rental properties in Italy to obtain a National Identification Code (CIN). This measure aims to regulate and monitor tourist accommodations, ensuring greater transparency and safety for both guests and property owners.

What is the CIN?

The CIN is a unique code assigned to each accommodation or property used for short-term rentals. It must be displayed outside the property and included in every listing published on online platforms or direct booking websites. Failure to display the CIN can result in administrative penalties.

Procedure for Obtaining the CIN

To obtain the CIN, property owners must register on the Accommodation Structures Database (BDSR), managed by the Ministry of Tourism. The registration requires the submission of the property’s cadastral data and compliance with specific safety requirements, including:

Installation of fire extinguishers.
Presence of gas and carbon monoxide detectors.

Once registration is complete and compliance is verified, the CIN will be assigned. This code must be displayed outside the property and included in all promotional listings.

Additional Obligations for Property Owners

In addition to obtaining the CIN, property owners must:

Ensure the property meets the safety standards set by current regulations.
Provide clear and truthful information to guests regarding the property’s features.
Comply with tax regulations related to short-term rentals by declaring income from this activity.

Penalties for Non-Compliance

Failure to register for the CIN or to comply with the required obligations may result in administrative penalties, which vary depending on the severity of the infraction. It is crucial for property owners to stay informed and fulfill all obligations to avoid fines.
