How to Notify the Sale of Your Vehicle to Les Franqueses del Vallès City Council: Downloadable Template
When you sell a vehicle in Spain, it is not enough to simply sign the purchase contract. While the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico) handles the ownership transfer, you must also notify your local City Council (Ayuntamiento) to stop the accrual of the "Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica" (IVTM), commonly known as the "road tax." This practical guide and template will help you formally notify the Les Franqueses del Vallès Town Hall to ensure you are no longer liable for taxes on a vehicle you no longer own.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in Les Franqueses del Vallès
To process this notification, you must present the document at the municipal registry (Registre Municipal). You have two primary options:
- In-person: Visit the OAC (Oficina d'Atenció a la Ciutadania) located at the Les Franqueses del Vallès Town Hall. It is highly recommended to book an appointment (cita previa) through their official website before arriving.
- Online: If you possess a digital certificate (Certificat Digital) or Cl@ve PIN, you can submit the request through the "Seu Electrònica" of the Les Franqueses del Vallès portal. This is the fastest and most efficient method.

Additional documentation required
To ensure your request is accepted without delays, please prepare the following documents to accompany the template:
- Proof of Identity: A clear photocopy of your DNI, NIE, or Passport.
- DGT Transfer Proof: The "Permiso de Circulación" showing the new owner or the official "Informe de Vehículo" from the DGT confirming the change of ownership.
- Purchase Contract: A copy of the signed "Contrato de Compraventa" clearly showing the date of the transaction.
Expert Tip: Never rely on the buyer to handle the paperwork. Even if they promise to do it, the liability for the IVTM remains with the person listed as the owner on January 1st of the tax year. Always submit this notification to the Les Franqueses del Vallès Town Hall yourself immediately after the sale to avoid receiving tax bills for a vehicle you no longer possess. Always ask for a "sello de entrada" (entry stamp) or a digital receipt (justificante de registro) when you submit your documents.
