Download Your Vehicle Sale Notification Template for Castroverde (Word/PDF)
Selling your car in Spain is a major milestone, but handing over the keys is only half the battle. Many vehicle owners make the critical mistake of only notifying the DGT (Directorate-General for Traffic), forgetting that their local town hall (Ayuntamiento) still holds the vehicle on their municipal registry. This leaves the previous owner legally vulnerable to paying the annual Road Tax—known officially as the Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica (IVTM)—even long after the car has a new owner. If you live in Castroverde and have recently sold a vehicle, you need to submit a formal Notification of Vehicle Sale (Notificación de Venta de Vehículo) to the local council to legally sever your tax liability.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in Castroverde
To ensure your sale is properly registered and you stop receiving municipal tax bills, you must submit your notification to the local authorities. For residents of Castroverde, the process can be handled through the official municipal channels:
- In-Person (Presencial): You can present the completed and signed document at the General Registry Office (Registro General) of the Ayuntamiento de Castroverde. Make sure to bring your original DNI/NIE and request a stamped copy (copia sellada) as proof of delivery.
- Online (Sede Electrónica): If you possess a digital certificate (Certificado Digital) or DNIe, you can submit the document electronically through the official electronic office (Sede Electrónica) of the Ayuntamiento de Castroverde website for faster processing.
- By Post: You can mail the documentation via certified mail (Correo Administrativo) from any Correos office, addressed to the Ayuntamiento de Castroverde.

Additional documentation required
Simply filling out the notification form is not enough; the Ayuntamiento de Castroverde will require supporting evidence to process the change in the municipal tax registry. Make sure to attach clear photocopies of the following documents to your submission:
- Your valid DNI, NIE, or Passport (as the selling party).
- The Permiso de Circulación (Vehicle Registration Certificate) showing the transfer of ownership, or the professional invoice if sold through a dealership.
- The official receipt or confirmation from the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico) proving that the change of ownership has been officially registered in the national registry.
- The private sales contract (Contrato de Compraventa) signed by both the buyer and the seller, clearly stating the date and exact time of the transaction.
As an expert traffic and legal consultant, my golden rule for Spanish bureaucracy is simple: never throw away your paperwork. Once the Ayuntamiento de Castroverde processes your notification, keep your stamped receipt or electronic registry confirmation in a safe place for at least four years. This protects you against any administrative errors, delayed tax demands, or municipal fines associated with the vehicle after the date of sale.
