Protected-housing applicants' registers: where to sign up in each region

Registro Público Municipal de Demandantes de Vivienda Protegida

Run by

Each town council (Ley 5/2025 de Vivienda de Andalucía, art. 62)

Renewal

Before it expires

If it lapses

The inscription is cancelled and seniority is lost

Documents to register

• Signed application or sworn declaration

How to check your status

On your town hall's electronic office

You register with the ayuntamiento of the town where you want to live and, if you wish, two more towns. You apply at the ayuntamiento, or online where it allows it.

Since 24 January 2026 the law (Ley 5/2025, art. 62.4) requires a new declaration every 2 years, or the registration is cancelled. The Junta's website and many municipal bylaws still say 3 years because they have not been updated, and the law does not say what happens to earlier registrations. Count 2 years from your registration or last update: it is the earliest date.

Each ayuntamiento may ask for documents besides the sworn declaration. Councils have until 24 January 2027 to run the register with their own systems; until then they stay on the Junta's platform.
