How to Notify the Sale of Your Vehicle to the Castellet i la Gornal Town Hall (Downloadable Template)

If you have recently sold your car in Spain, you are likely aware of the mandatory notification to the DGT (Traffic Department). However, many sellers forget a crucial step: notifying the local Town Hall (Ayuntamiento). In municipalities like Castellet i la Gornal, this notification is essential to stop the accrual of the IVTM (Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica), or "road tax." By filing this document, you ensure that future tax bills are issued to the new owner, preventing you from being held liable for taxes on a vehicle you no longer possess.

How and where to submit your notification in Castellet i la Gornal

To process this notification, you must submit the document to the Castellet i la Gornal Town Hall (Ajuntament). You have two primary ways to do this:

• In-person: Visit the Town Hall offices (Oficina d'Atenció Ciutadana) during public hours. Ensure you bring your ID and the original 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 Castellet i la Gornal website. This is the most efficient method and provides you with an instant digital receipt.

Additional documentation required

When submitting the template above, you must attach the following supporting documents to ensure the request is processed without delays:

• A copy of your DNI, NIE, or Passport.
• A copy of the signed "Contrato de Compraventa" (Sales Contract) between the buyer and the seller.
• A copy of the "Permiso de Circulación" (Vehicle Registration Certificate) showing the transfer of the vehicle, or the "Informe de Vehículo" from the DGT confirming the change of ownership.
• If you are acting through a representative, a signed authorization document (Representación voluntaria).

Expert Tip: Always request a "Sello de Entrada" (official entry stamp) if you submit the document in person. If you submit it online, keep the "Justificante de Registro" (PDF receipt) in a safe folder. These documents are your only legal proof that you are no longer responsible for the vehicle's taxes if the DGT system fails to automatically update the municipal database. Don't assume the DGT and the Town Hall share information in real-time; taking this extra step protects you from unexpected tax debt.
