How to Download the Vehicle Sale Notification Template for Campo Lugar (Word/PDF)

When you sell a vehicle in Spain, simply handing over the keys and signing a contract is not enough. To protect yourself from future liabilities—such as parking fines, unpaid circulation taxes (IVTM), or tolls incurred by the new owner—you must legally notify both the DGT (Directorate-General for Traffic) and your local town hall (Ayuntamiento). This article explains the process for notifying the local municipality of Campo Lugar and provides a ready-to-use template to ensure your municipal records are updated correctly.

Instructions on how and where to submit it in Campo Lugar

The notification of vehicle sale to the local council (Ayuntamiento de Campo Lugar) is crucial because the municipal vehicle tax (Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica - IVTM) is billed annually by the municipality where the vehicle is registered. To ensure you are not charged for the next fiscal year, you must submit this notification promptly after the sale.

You can submit the documentation through the following channels in Campo Lugar:

• In-Person (Presencial): Visit the General Registry Office (Registro General) of the Ayuntamiento de Campo Lugar during their normal public attention hours. Remember to bring your ID (DNI/NIE) and the original documents for comparison if requested.
• Electronic Registry (Sede Electrónica): If you possess a digital certificate (Certificado Digital) or Cl@ve, you can submit the notification online through the official electronic headquarters of the Ayuntamiento de Campo Lugar, saving time and avoiding trips to the office.
• By Post: You can send the complete documentation via registered mail (Correo Administrativo) directed to the Ayuntamiento de Campo Lugar, specifying that it is a notification of vehicle sale.

Additional documentation required

To ensure that the Ayuntamiento de Campo Lugar successfully processes your vehicle sale notification and updates your tax profile, you must attach several key documents along with the filled template:

• A copy of your national identity document (DNI or NIE).
• A copy of the buyer's DNI, NIE, or company tax ID (CIF).
• The signed contract of sale (Contrato de Compraventa) or the official invoice detailing the date and time of the transaction.
• The DGT transfer receipt (Permiso de Circulación renovado) showing the vehicle is now registered under the new owner, or the official "Notificación de Venta" receipt issued directly by the DGT traffic headquarters, proving you have already reported the transaction to national authorities.

Closing paragraph with expert tips

Always remember that notifying the DGT is a separate procedure from notifying the local town hall, although many gestorías handle both simultaneously. As an expert tip, never hand over the vehicle keys without having a signed contract that clearly specifies the exact hour and minute of the sale—this timestamps your liability release in case the new owner commits traffic infractions immediately after driving away. Keep all receipts and submission stamps from the Ayuntamiento de Campo Lugar for a minimum of four years to protect yourself against retroactive municipal tax claims.
