How to Notify the Sale of Your Vehicle to the Nonaspe City Council (Template Download)
If you have recently sold your vehicle, notifying the local authorities is a critical step to avoid future tax liabilities. In Spain, the "Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica" (IVTM), commonly known as the "road tax," is tied to the town where the vehicle is registered. By notifying the Nonaspe City Council of the sale, you ensure that future tax bills are issued to the new owner, preventing you from being held liable for taxes accrued after the date of transfer.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in Nonaspe
To process this notification in Nonaspe, you must present the document to the Ayuntamiento (Town Hall). You have two main options:
- In-person: Visit the Nonaspe Town Hall (Plaza de España) during office hours. Bring the original document and a copy so they can stamp your copy as proof of receipt (this is your legal safeguard).
- Electronic Registry: If you possess a digital certificate or Cl@ve PIN, you can submit the document via the official "Sede Electrónica" of the Nonaspe City Council if available, or through the "Registro Electrónico Común" (REC) of the Spanish General State Administration.

Additional documentation required
When submitting your notification to the Nonaspe City Council, ensure you include the following supporting documents to avoid delays:
- Photocopy of the Sales Contract: A signed copy of the "Contrato de Compraventa" between you and the buyer.
- DGT Transfer Proof: The updated "Permiso de Circulación" or the "Informe de Vehículo" from the DGT showing the transfer of ownership has been completed.
- Copy of your ID: A copy of your DNI, NIE, or Passport.
- Proof of Address: In some cases, the council may require proof that you are the current registered owner of the vehicle in their database.
Expert Tip: Never rely on the buyer to handle the paperwork. Even if the buyer promises to handle the transfer, the responsibility of the road tax remains with the person listed in the city records until officially notified. Always keep your stamped copy of this notification indefinitely; it is your ultimate proof if a tax collection agency incorrectly attempts to charge you for a vehicle you no longer own.
