How to Notify the Sale of Your Vehicle to the Montalbán de Córdoba Town Hall (Template Download)
When you sell a vehicle in Spain, it is not enough to simply sign the contract with the buyer. To avoid receiving future municipal tax bills (Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica - IVTM) for a car you no longer own, you must notify the local tax authority. This article provides a practical guide and a ready-to-use template to notify the Montalbán de Córdoba Town Hall that you have transferred ownership of your vehicle.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in Montalbán de Córdoba
Once the transfer of ownership has been officially registered with the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico), it is highly recommended to inform your local municipality to ensure your tax records are updated immediately. In Montalbán de Córdoba, you should follow these steps:
- Prepare the document: Fill out the template provided below with your specific details.
- In-person submission: Visit the "Registro General" at the Montalbán de Córdoba Town Hall (Ayuntamiento). You will need to bring your original ID (DNI/NIE) and a photocopy of the signed contract or the new vehicle registration document (Permiso de Circulación).
- Electronic submission: If you possess a digital certificate or Cl@ve PIN, you can submit the document via the official electronic office (Sede Electrónica) of the Montalbán de Córdoba Town Hall to save time.

Additional documentation required
To ensure your request is processed without delays, make sure you have the following documents ready when you visit the municipal offices:
- Proof of Identity: Your valid DNI, NIE, or Passport.
- Proof of Sale: A copy of the "Permiso de Circulación" (Vehicle Registration) showing the new owner's details, or the signed "Contrato de Compraventa" (Purchase Contract).
- DGT Notification: While not always mandatory if the DGT has updated their system, having the "Informe de Vehículo" from the DGT confirming the transfer is excellent supporting evidence.
Expert Tip: Never trust that the DGT and the Town Hall share information automatically in real-time. Municipal databases are often updated annually, and failing to notify them can result in "Tax on Mechanical Traction Vehicles" bills being sent to you for years after the sale. Always request a "sello de entrada" (entry stamp) or a digital receipt when you submit your notification; this is your only legal proof that you fulfilled your obligations if a dispute arises later.
