Madrid’s tourism law is now published. Ley 8/2026, de 4 de noviembre, por la que se modifica la Ley 1/1999, de 12 de marzo, de Ordenación del Turismo de la Comunidad de Madrid, appeared in BOCM Nº 270 on 10 November 2026 (BOCM). It enters into force “a los tres meses de su publicación en el Boletín Oficial de la Comunidad de Madrid”, which we compute as 10 February 2027 (the exact first day, 10 or 11 February, is [unconfirmed]). For viviendas de uso turístico (VUT), the text gives a legal definition, new inspection tasks and a new very serious infraction (art. 59.e). No new VUT registry, cap, platform duty or zoning rule was found in the text read.
