Thanks (I think you need to edit your post so it says Jul-2018 rather than Jul-2028 but I think the narrative is clear enough!). Guess it means I got lucky pretty much getting a gestor to apply for the licence as soon as I had completed on the property - can't recall exactly but think it cost me ...

...around 100 Euros at the time. Now the nice new plaques cost nearly as much!)
Out of interest, where Town Halls say the community needs to have voted to say no more tourist licences - how do they find that out to ensure they don't issue them? Is the emphasis on the Community to have informed the town hall? What happens if the community has voted but the town hall doesn't know and issues a licence?
Edit done! Yes, July 2018 was when the change was made.
Re not allowing new licenses, the community have to register their decision with the Town Hall, so yes, the responsibility is on the community to inform the Town Hall, not for the Town Hall to ask the community in Orihuela Costa, (Torrevieja runs the same type of system too). Any such decision is not retrospective, so existing Licenses and those already being processed are not affected. For the decision to be binding the community must vote at the AGM with three-fifths of all owners in favour of the ban, but those votes must also represent three-fifths of the community fees too. Not many communities have done this. Each Town Hall has the right to restrict the number of new Licenses issued, so can change their own criteria for allowing them at any time.
