How to Notify the Arbo Town Hall of a Vehicle Sale: Downloadable Template (Word/PDF)
When you sell a vehicle in Spain, it is not enough to simply sign a contract with the buyer. To avoid future tax liabilities, such as the IVTM (Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica), you must formally notify the local Town Hall (Ayuntamiento) of the change in ownership. This template provides the necessary legal structure to officially inform the Arbo Town Hall that you are no longer the owner of the vehicle, protecting you from future tax demands.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in Arbo
Once you have filled out the document below, you must present it to the Arbo Town Hall (Concello de Arbo). You have two main ways to submit this:
- In-person: Visit the Town Hall's registry office (Rexistro Xeral) located at the municipal building. Make sure to bring your ID (DNI/NIE) and the original signed document.
- Online: If you possess a digital certificate (Certificado Digital) or Cl@ve, you can submit the document via the Arbo Electronic Office (Sede Electrónica).

Additional documentation required
To ensure your request is processed without delays by the Arbo municipal authorities, you should attach the following documents to your notification:
- A photocopy of your DNI, NIE, or Passport.
- A copy of the "Contrato de Compraventa" (Sales Contract) signed by both the buyer and the seller.
- A copy of the "Permiso de Circulación" (Vehicle Registration Document) showing the transfer of ownership or the updated document if already available.
- If you are submitting this through a representative, a signed authorization form (representación legal).
Expert Tip: Always request a "sello de entrada" (receipt stamp) when submitting your physical document at the registry office. This document serves as your legal proof that you notified the town hall of the sale. Keep this copy indefinitely, as it is your primary defense if the Town Hall mistakenly attempts to collect the IVTM tax from you in future fiscal years.
