Sardinia, Italy

When deciding whether to become a Host on Airbnb in Italy, it is important for you to understand the laws in your region or city. As a platform and online marketplace we do not provide legal advice, but we want to provide resources that may help you better understand applicable laws and regulations. This list is not exhaustive, but it may give you a good start in understanding your local laws.

There are three requirements for the Sardinia region that are applicable, whether you are a professional Host or an individual, to tourist rentals with contracts not exceeding 30 days—Notification of occasional your rental for tourist purposes, IUN code, and reporting tourist data. Visit the Italy national page for more resources to understand the national laws in your country.

Notification of occasional rental for tourist purposes

In order to rent your accommodation with a tourist rental contract, you must notify the municipality where your property is located.

Send the notification to the municipality to remain current as a host.

IUN code

Next, apply to the region for an Unique Numeric Identification Code (Codice Identificativo Univoco Numerico aka IUN code) with appropriate declaration.

Attach the following to the declaration:

• a copy of your valid identity document
• a copy of the notification of rental referred to in requirement 1 (or a receipt of it)

Within the same declaration for the attribution of the IUN code, request your access credentials to the SIRED system (currently Ross 1000) by filling in the appropriate section (visit Reporting tourist data for more information).

You must submit online the declaration for the attribution of the IUN code and access credentials to the SIRED system using the Occasional Rental Register platform accessible through SPID or CNS.

Please note that, temporarily, it is still possible to send the declaration to the region's Tourism Crafts and Trade Department by filling in the appropriate forms available on this page

You will have to send the declaration to the competent territorial office, which can be found in this list.

Please keep in mind that you must use the IUN code in every communication and online marketing tool of your property. Otherwise, you may incur a sanction of between 500 EUR and 2,000 EUR.

For more information, please consult the relevant FAQ.

Reporting tourist data

For statistical purposes, you must electronically communicate the number of guests via the ROSS 1000 platform (aka SIRED) to the region of Sardinia. The access credentials to enter ROSS 1000 are issued to you by email by the Department of Tourism after you have submitted the communication for the attribution of the IUN (refer to requirement 2). As mentioned above, this is a single communication that allows you to request both the IUN code and the credentials to access Ross 1000.

In addition, after uploading your guests data, you can use Ross 1000 to generate the file to be submitted to the Questura and optionally submit it directly to the Alloggiati Web portal (refer to the national responsible hosting page). For more information about this process, please consult the relevant video tutorial.

For more information about Ross 1000, please consult the specific page.

Difference between tourist rentals and extra-hotel facilities

Please keep in mind that tourist rental is different from extra-hotel accommodation facilities (such as homes and holiday apartments (CAVs), B&Bs, etc.) for which the regional regulations, on the one hand, allows the possibility of offering more services and, on the other hand, provides for several other obligations (ex: SUAP application, classification, price display, SCIA i.e. Segnalazione Certificata di Inizio Attività, etc.).
