How to Notify the Sale of Your Vehicle to the Garrapinillos City Council (Template Download)
When you sell a vehicle in Spain, it is not enough to notify the DGT (Traffic Department). To avoid being charged the annual road tax (IVTM - Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica) for years after the sale, you must notify your local municipality. This practical guide and template will help you formally inform the Garrapinillos district office—which falls under the jurisdiction of the Zaragoza City Council—that you are no longer the owner of the vehicle.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in Garrapinillos
Since Garrapinillos is a district of the Zaragoza municipality, you must direct your request to the Ayuntamiento de Zaragoza. You have two primary ways to submit this notification:
- In-Person: You can visit the "Junta Municipal de Garrapinillos" or any of the official "Oficinas de Atención al Ciudadano" in Zaragoza. Ensure you bring your DNI and the original paperwork for verification.
- Online: If you possess a Digital Certificate, Cl@ve PIN, or electronic ID, you can submit this document via the Sede Electrónica of the Zaragoza City Council. This is the fastest and most efficient method.

Additional documentation required
To ensure your request is processed without delays, you must attach the following documents to the template provided above:
- A copy of the Permiso de Circulación (Registration Certificate) showing the transfer of ownership, or the "Informe de Vehículo" obtained from the DGT showing the new owner.
- A copy of your DNI/NIE (the seller).
- A copy of the Contrato de Compraventa (Sales Contract) signed by both parties, indicating the exact date and time of the transaction.
Expert Tip: Always keep a stamped copy of your submission (if presenting in person) or the electronic receipt (if submitting online). Many sellers forget that the IVTM is a "tax of ownership" on January 1st; if you sell the car on January 2nd, the council will still charge you for the full year. Always try to finalize sales before the end of the calendar year, and confirm with the council that the vehicle has been removed from your tax record to avoid future debt collection notices.
