CIN and CIR in Venice and the Veneto: how to start a short let
On this page
The Veneto has a fairly straightforward procedure for holiday lets: registering on the regional portal generates the regional code automatically. Venice, though, adds rules of its own, starting with the 120-day threshold. Here's how to proceed, whether your home is on the lagoon, on Lake Garda's Verona shore, in the Dolomites or in an art city.
The regional procedure, step by step
- Register a new holiday let on the regional portal. Before renting, you complete the notice on the Veneto Region's tourism-flows portal. You need a front-and-back scan of your ID and details of the host, the property and the rental period, including rooms and beds.
- Send the notice. After the confirmation email:
- non-business hosts print it and send it to the Comune (the town hall) with a copy of their ID;
- business hosts send it to the SUAP (the municipal business desk).
- Regional code. It is generated automatically and visible when you log in to ROSS1000. For registrations from 1 December 2021 it combines the Comune's ISTAT code, the letters "LOC" and a sequential number. Earlier registrations keep their old code starting with "M".
- CIN. Log in to the Ministry of Tourism's accommodation database (BDSR), enter the regional code, complete the cadastral data and get the CIN.
- Guest reporting and changes. Periodic guest reporting and changes to opening periods are done on ROSS1000, which is accessible only with SPID, CIE or CNS (Italian digital ID). Changes to rooms or beds go to the Region by certified email (PEC).
- Alloggiati Web and tourist tax. Request police credentials from the Questura of the province. For tourist tax, contact the Comune's tax office.
Venice: the 120-day threshold
In the historic centre and the islands, the Comune di Venezia offers two routes:
- The 120-day option: for occasional hosts, up to 120 days in total per year, with an annual declaration to the Comune.
- The unlimited option: requires a SCIA (certified start-of-business notice) with the SUAP and extra duties, including 24-hour availability and giving guests the "EnjoyRespectVenezia" guide. According to available information, new registrations under this option are frozen until 31 December 2026.
The 120-day threshold does not apply in Mestre and Marghera.
Venice's tourist tax is charged per guest, per night, for up to five consecutive nights. Rates vary by zone and season and are lower on the Lido, the islands and the mainland. Guests who pay it are exempt from the city's access fee.
Before you buy or start renting in Venice, check the current registration situation with the Comune.
Frequently asked questions
Is the "LOC" code the CIR?
Yes. It is the Veneto's regional identification code, and you need it to get the CIN. Both must be displayed.
Can I use ROSS1000 without SPID?
ROSS1000 requires SPID, CIE or CNS. Without them, an intermediary acting under your delegation can handle the filings for you.
I have a house on Lake Garda's Verona shore. Do Venice's rules apply?
No. Regional rules and your own Comune's rules apply. The 120-day threshold is specific to Venice.
