How to Notify the Local Council of a Vehicle Sale in Cal de Peon (Template Download)
Selling a vehicle in Spain involves more than just the DGT (Traffic Department) transfer. To avoid being held liable for the "Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica" (IVTM)—commonly known as the road tax—you must notify your local municipality. If you live in or sold a car registered in Cal de Peon, you need to submit a formal notification to the local council (Ayuntamiento) to ensure the tax liability is transferred to the new owner. Use the template below to process this request quickly.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in Cal de Peon
To successfully notify the Cal de Peon Town Hall of your vehicle sale, follow these steps:
- Complete the form: Fill in the template provided below with your personal details, the vehicle's license plate, and the buyer's information.
- Digital Submission: The most efficient way is through the Sede Electrónica of the Cal de Peon Ayuntamiento if they have an active portal. You will need a digital certificate or Cl@ve PIN.
- In-Person: Print two copies and visit the Registro General at the town hall offices. Ensure one copy is stamped ("sello de entrada") as your legal proof of submission.
- Deadline: Do this immediately after the transfer is confirmed at the DGT. Failing to notify the council can result in you receiving the tax bill for the following year.

Additional documentation required
When you submit the document above, the municipal office will typically require the following supporting documents to process your request:
- A copy of your DNI, NIE, or Passport.
- The "Permiso de Circulación" issued by the DGT showing the new owner's details (the updated registration document).
- A copy of the sales contract (Contrato de Compraventa).
- Proof of the transfer of ownership from the DGT (Informe de Tráfico).
Expert Tip: Never rely on the buyer to inform the council. Even if the buyer promises to handle the paperwork, the legal responsibility for the road tax remains with the person listed as the owner on January 1st of each year. Always submit this notification yourself as soon as the sale is finalized to protect your financial interests and avoid unnecessary bureaucratic headaches with the local tax authority.
