Author: Klaudia Wolf Reviewed by Matthias Thomas
The short answer
When buying property in Mallorca, the main bodies involved are the Balearic tax agency ATIB, the cadastre, the land registry, the municipality, the Consell de Mallorca and, for holiday letting, the tourism offices. The ATIB handles ITPAJD and Modelo 600, the land registry supplies the Nota Simple, and the cadastre the reference value and areas.

The ITP calculator is integrated directly into our guide chapter ITP and Property Transfer Tax in Mallorca. This page is the central entry point for quickly calculating the Balearic property transfer tax and for a detailed classification of ITP, IVA, AJD, tax base, Valor de Referencia and typical special cases.
For binding processing, the official ATIB and Catastro pages as well as individual tax review remain authoritative.

Tax Authorities for Buyers and Owners
The ATIB is the most important contact for ITPAJD, regional tax forms, payment receipts and many local taxes, if their collection has been delegated. The Agencia Tributaria is responsible for state taxes, including Modelo 210 for non-residents, rental, sale and withholding tax.
Cadastre, Land Registry and Urban Planning
The Cadastre and Land Registry are not the same. The Cadastre describes the property administratively and technically: location, reference, area, use, cartography, cadastral value and reference value. The Land Registry shows the registered rights: owner, mortgages, easements, encumbrances and restrictions on disposal.
- Sede del Catastro for cadastral data.
- Registro de la Propiedad for Nota Simple.
- MUIB for urban planning map viewer.
- BOIB for official announcements.
Tourism Authorities and Holiday Rentals
Anyone wishing to rent out tourist accommodation should start with the legal permissibility, not with listings. Decisive factors are the municipality, zoning, property type, Cédula, capacity, DRIAT, registration and ongoing obligations.
- Tourism Department of the Consell de Mallorca
- Consorcio Bolsa de Alojamientos Turísticos
- Register of Tourist Companies and Accommodations

Frequently asked questions
Where do you pay property transfer tax (ITP) in Mallorca?
ITPAJD is declared and paid through the Balearic tax agency ATIB using Modelo 600. The general ITP rate is 8% up to EUR 400,000, then rises in steps to up to 13% for the part above EUR 2,000,000. The official ATIB pages and an individual tax review remain authoritative.
What is the difference between the cadastre and the land register in Mallorca?
The cadastre describes the property administratively and technically, while the land register shows the registered rights. The cadastre contains location, reference, area, use, cadastral value and reference value. The land register contains the owner, mortgages, easements, encumbrances and restrictions on disposal.
Where can you get a Nota Simple for a property in Mallorca?
The Nota Simple is available from the Registro de la Propiedad, online via the Sede Registradores. It shows the owner, encumbrances, mortgages and rights. Buyers should obtain it before purchase and check the encumbrances.
Which authority is responsible for non-residents' taxes in Mallorca?
For state taxes such as Modelo 210 for non-residents, the Agencia Tributaria is responsible. Modelo 210 covers, among other things, letting, sales and withholding tax. The ATIB remains the contact for ITPAJD and regional forms.
What should you check first before holiday letting in Mallorca?
First clarify whether the letting is permitted, rather than placing listings. The municipality, zoning, property type, Cédula, number of places, DRIAT, registration and ongoing obligations are decisive. The responsible bodies are the register of tourism businesses and accommodation and the tourism department of the Consell de Mallorca.
Where can you find zoning plans and planning information in Mallorca?
Zoning plans, spatial planning and the planning viewer are provided by the Consell de Mallorca. For planning maps there is also the MUIB of the Balearic Islands, and for official notices the BOIB. For rústico land, alterations or pools, you should also check the municipal and planning situation.
