How to Notify the Sale of Your Vehicle to the Cabo Blanco Town Hall (Template Download)
Selling a vehicle in Spain involves more than just a contract between buyer and seller. To avoid future tax liabilities, such as the IVTM (Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica), it is essential to formally notify the local authorities of the change in ownership. This article provides a ready-to-use template to inform the Cabo Blanco Town Hall (Ayuntamiento) that you are no longer the owner of the vehicle, ensuring you are not held responsible for future municipal tax bills.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in Cabo Blanco
Once you have signed the purchase contract and completed the transfer at the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico), you must present this notification to the Tax Department (Departamento de Recaudación) of the Cabo Blanco Town Hall. You have two main ways to submit it:
- In-Person: Visit the Citizen Attention Office (Oficina de Atención al Ciudadano) in Cabo Blanco. Ensure you bring your ID (DNI/NIE) and the original stamped documentation from the DGT.
- Online: If you have a digital certificate or Cl@ve PIN, you can submit the document via the official Cabo Blanco Town Hall "Sede Electrónica" under the "Instancia General" or "Impuesto de Vehículos" section.

Additional documentation required
To ensure your request is processed without delays, you must attach the following documents to the template:
- A copy of your DNI, NIE, or Passport.
- A copy of the "Permiso de Circulación" showing the new owner's details, or the official "Informe de Antecedentes" issued by the DGT confirming the change of ownership.
- The original purchase contract (optional, but highly recommended as supporting evidence).
- Proof of payment of the IVTM for the current year (to prove there are no outstanding debts).
Expert Tip: Always request a "sello de entrada" (stamped receipt) when submitting your document in person. If submitting online, download the "Justificante de Registro." This digital or physical receipt is your only legal proof that you have notified the municipality, protecting you from future tax claims if the new owner fails to pay the annual vehicle tax. Keep this document in your records for at least four years.
