How to Notify the Sale of Your Vehicle to the City Council in Jinamar (Template Download)

If you have recently sold your vehicle, notifying the authorities is a critical step to avoid future tax liabilities. In Spain, simply transferring the title at the DGT (Traffic Department) is not always enough to stop the "Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica" (IVTM), commonly known as the "road tax." This template is designed to help you formally notify the Jinamar / Las Palmas de Gran Canaria City Council that you are no longer the owner of the vehicle, ensuring that future tax bills are not sent to your address.

Instructions on how and where to submit it in Jinamar

Since Jinamar is a district shared between the municipalities of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Telde, you must identify which City Council (Ayuntamiento) currently holds the tax records for your vehicle. You can submit this notification through the following channels:

• In-Person: Visit the "Oficina de Atención al Ciudadano" (OAC) in your respective municipality. Ensure you bring your ID (DNI/NIE) and the original documentation.
• Online: If you possess a Digital Certificate or Cl@ve PIN, you can submit this document via the "Sede Electrónica" of the Las Palmas de Gran Canaria or Telde City Council.
• By Post: You can send it via "Correo Administrativo" at any post office (Correos), ensuring the document is stamped by the clerk before being sealed in an envelope.

Que, a fin de que se proceda a la baja en el padrón del Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica (IVTM) y se deje de girar el recibo a mi nombre, APORTO la documentación que acredita dicha transmisión.

Por lo expuesto, SOLICITO que se tenga por presentado este escrito junto con sus documentos adjuntos, y se proceda a realizar el cambio de titularidad a efectos fiscales en los registros de este Ayuntamiento.

Additional documentation required

To ensure your request is processed without delays, you must attach the following documents to your submission:

• A copy of your DNI, NIE, or Passport.
• A copy of the "Permiso de Circulación" showing the new owner's details, or the official transfer document issued by the DGT.
• A copy of the "Contrato de Compraventa" (the purchase contract).
• If you are acting through a representative, a signed authorization document (modelo de representación).

Expert Tip: Always request a "sello de entrada" (entry stamp) or a digital receipt (justificante de registro) when submitting your paperwork. This serves as your only legal proof that you notified the authorities. If the City Council continues to charge you for the road tax in the next fiscal year, that receipt will be the primary evidence needed to file an appeal and request a refund of the incorrectly charged taxes.
