How to Notify the Sale of a Vehicle to Benalúa de las Villas City Council: Downloadable Template

When you sell a vehicle in Spain, it is not enough to simply change the ownership at the DGT (Directorate-General for Traffic). To avoid receiving future municipal tax bills (IVTM - Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica), you must formally notify your local City Council. This template is designed to help you notify the Benalúa de las Villas Town Hall that you are no longer the owner of the vehicle, ensuring you are not held liable for future road taxes.

Instructions on how and where to submit it in Benalúa de las Villas

To submit this notification, you should proceed as follows:

• Digital Submission: Visit the official website of the Benalúa de las Villas City Council. Look for the "Sede Electrónica" (Electronic Office). If you have a digital certificate or Cl@ve PIN, you can upload this document via the "Instancia General" (General Request) section.
• In-Person Submission: Print two copies of the template. Visit the Town Hall (Ayuntamiento) offices. One copy will be for the registry office, and the other will be stamped as your "recibí" (proof of submission).
• Certified Mail: If you cannot go in person, you can send it via "Correo Administrativo" from any Correos office using a stamped envelope.

Additional documentation required

To ensure your request is processed without delays, you must attach the following documents to the template:

• A photocopy of your DNI, NIE, or Passport.
• A copy of the "Permiso de Circulación" (Vehicle Registration Certificate) showing the transfer of ownership, or the "Contrato de Compraventa" (Sales Contract) signed by both parties.
• Proof of the transfer at the DGT (the "Informe de Vehículo" from the DGT is highly recommended as it acts as official proof of the current status).

Expert Tip: Never assume the DGT will automatically notify your City Council. While systems are improving, it remains the taxpayer's legal responsibility to inform the municipality. Always keep your stamped "recibí" copy for at least four years, as this is the standard statute of limitations for tax claims in Spain. If you receive a tax bill for a period after the sale date, take this document and your proof of submission to the tax collection office immediately to request a formal cancellation of the debt.
