How to Download the Vehicle Sale Notification Template for Escairón (Word/PDF)
If you have recently sold your car, van, or motorcycle in Spain, simply handing over the keys and signing a bill of sale is not enough to clear your name from ongoing municipal liabilities. In Spain, the registered owner at the start of the year is legally obligated to pay the annual vehicle tax—known locally as the *Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica* (IVTM). To prevent the local town hall from continuing to bill you for a vehicle you no longer own, you must submit a formal notification of sale (*Notificación de Venta de Vehículo*) to the relevant municipal authority. This crucial step protects you from paying unfair taxes or receiving fines incurred by the new owner while the Directorate-General for Traffic (DGT) processes the official ownership transfer.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in Escairón
Escairón is the main population center and capital of the municipality of O Saviñao, located in the province of Lugo, Galicia. Because municipal taxes are managed locally, you must submit your vehicle sale notification directly to the local administration. Here is how you can do it:
- In-Person (Presencial): You can present the completed and signed document at the General Registry office (Registro General) of the Ayuntamiento de O Saviñao (Escairón). Remember to bring your original DNI/NIE, a copy of the signed sales contract (*contrato de compraventa*), and the DGT transfer receipt if available.
- Online (Sede Electrónica): If you possess a Spanish digital certificate (*Certificado Digital*) or Cl@ve system, you can submit the document electronically through the official online office (Sede Electrónica) of the Ayuntamiento de O Saviñao. This is the fastest and most traceable method.
- By Postal Mail: You can send the documentation via certified mail (*Correo Administrativo*) addressed to the Ayuntamiento de O Saviñao. Ensure the post office stamps the original document and your copy before mailing it.

- A photocopy of your valid Spanish ID document (DNI or NIE).
- A copy of the vehicle sales contract (*Contrato de Compraventa*), clearly showing the date and exact time the vehicle was handed over.
- The official notification receipt issued by the DGT (*Justificante de notificación de venta*), if you have already registered the sale at a traffic office or through an authorized Gestor.
- Proof of payment of the municipal vehicle tax (IVTM) for the current year, confirming you are up to date with your local obligations.
Closing paragraph with expert tips
As a final traffic and legal recommendation in Spain, never rely solely on notifying the town hall. While informing the Ayuntamiento de O Saviñao protects you from local tax liabilities, you must also officially notify the DGT (*Notificación de Venta*) or complete the full transfer of ownership (*Cambio de Titularidad*) as soon as possible. Keeping copies of all stamped registry documents and the signed contract safeguards you against potential traffic fines, uninsured vehicle penalties, or civil liability issues associated with the vehicle after it leaves your possession.
