How to Notify the Ayora Town Hall of a Vehicle Sale: Downloadable Template
When you sell a vehicle in Spain, it is not enough to simply sign the contract and hand over the keys. One of the most critical, yet often overlooked, steps is notifying the local Town Hall (Ayuntamiento) to ensure you are no longer liable for the annual circulation tax (IVTM - Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica). This template will help you formally notify the Ayora Town Hall that the vehicle is no longer in your possession, preventing future tax demands.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in Ayora
To submit this notification in Ayora, you must present the document at the Town Hall's General Registry (Registro General). You have two main options:
- In-person: Visit the Ayora Town Hall offices located at Plaza Mayor, 1. Ensure you bring your original ID (DNI/NIE) and a photocopy of the signed sales contract.
- Online: If you possess a digital certificate (Certificado Digital) or Cl@ve PIN, you can submit the document via the Sede Electrónica of the Ayora Town Hall. This is the fastest and most efficient method.

Additional documentation required
To ensure your request is processed without delays, you must attach the following documents to your notification:
- A copy of your valid DNI, NIE, or Passport.
- A copy of the sales contract (Contrato de Compraventa) signed by both the buyer and the seller.
- Proof of the change of ownership issued by the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico), if available, confirming the vehicle is now registered to the new owner.
Expert Tip: Always keep a stamped copy of your submission (or the electronic registry receipt). This is your only legal proof that you fulfilled your obligation to notify the municipality. Furthermore, remember that the DGT notification is separate from the Town Hall notification; while the DGT handles the legal ownership, the Town Hall manages the tax. You must perform both actions to fully protect yourself from future tax liabilities or municipal fines related to the vehicle.
