How to Notify the Sale of Your Vehicle to the Castellterçol City Council (Template Download)
If you have recently sold your vehicle, you must notify the local authorities to ensure that you are no longer responsible for the "Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica" (IVTM), commonly known as the road tax. In Castellterçol, as in the rest of Spain, simply changing the name at the DGT (Traffic Department) is not always enough to update the municipal records immediately. This template will help you formally notify the Castellterçol City Council to avoid being charged for future tax periods.
How and where to submit your notification in Castellterçol
To submit your notification, you should address the document to the "Ayuntamiento de Castellterçol". You have two main options for submission:
- In-person: Visit the Citizen Attention Office (OAC) at the Town Hall. Remember to bring your original DNI/NIE and the original sales contract.
- Online: If you possess a digital certificate (Certificado Digital) or Cl@ve PIN, you can submit the document through the official electronic office (Seu Electrònica) of the Castellterçol City Council.

Additional documentation required
When submitting your notification, ensure you attach the following documents to avoid delays:
- A copy of your DNI, NIE, or Passport.
- The "Permiso de Circulación" (Vehicle Registration Certificate) showing the transfer of ownership or the "Informe de Vehículo" issued by the DGT confirming the new owner.
- A copy of the "Contrato de Compraventa" (Sales Contract) signed by both parties.
Expert Tip: Always keep a stamped copy of your notification (if submitted in person) or the registration receipt (if submitted online). This serves as your legal proof that you have fulfilled your obligations. If you sold the car mid-year, remember that the person who owns the vehicle on January 1st is legally responsible for the entire year's road tax; therefore, ensure your sales contract clearly specifies who is responsible for the payment of the current year's tax to avoid disputes.
