Operational checks before starting
1. Choose the legal accommodation category
Before filing any application, you need to determine whether the project is a B&B, Affittacamere, CAV or simply a tourist rental: services, capacity, taxation and procedures differ.
2. Municipality / SUAP
Check SCIA, CIA/notification requirements, tourist tax, any local regulations and the online procedures of the competent Municipality.
3. Property and capacity
Check permitted use where required, minimum room sizes, bathrooms, safety, condominium rules and the number of beds that can actually be authorised.
4. Codes and guests
Obtain the regional/provincial code where required and then the CIN; activate tourism statistics reporting, Alloggiati Web and the other applicable obligations.
