Reporting to owners: what the manager or board must report in Spain

Short answer

The owners' meeting (junta) must meet at least once a year to approve the budgets and accounts, and it approves the plan of expected income and expenditure and the corresponding accounts.

What the law says

Original wording of the law (Spanish). The summary and the notes around it are ours.

1. La Junta de propietarios se reunirá por lo menos una vez al año para aprobar los presupuestos y cuentas y en las demás ocasiones que lo considere conveniente el presidente o lo pidan la cuarta parte de los propietarios, o un número de éstos que representen al menos el 25 por 100 de las cuotas de participación.
Provision: LPH art. 16.1 y art. 14 b) · Official text

What this means in practice

The law prescribes no template or line items for the accounts or the budget. Other meetings are called by the president or requested by a quarter of the owners, or by owners representing at least 25 per cent of the participation quotas. This page covers the state law (LPH); Catalonia has its own civil code.

General information, not legal advice. Check with a lawyer in Spain before relying on it, and read your building's own documents: they can change how a rule applies.

Where Unitify fits

The free reports tool turns a spreadsheet, an export or pasted text into a report page with a share link, covering income, expenses, debt, requests and work done. It is free and needs no signup. It does not replace the report or form that the law above requires: what must be reported, to whom and by when comes from the law and from your own rules.
