How to Notify the Ontur Town Hall of a Vehicle Sale: Downloadable Template
When you sell a vehicle in Spain, it is not enough to simply sign the contract with the buyer. To avoid future tax liabilities—specifically the "Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica" (IVTM)—you must notify the local tax authorities. If you have sold a car and are registered as a resident in Ontur, you need to inform the local Town Hall to ensure the tax obligation is transferred to the new owner. This article provides a ready-to-use template to formalize this notification.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in Ontur
To submit your notification to the Ayuntamiento de Ontur, follow these steps:
- Prepare the document: Fill out the template provided below with your personal details and the vehicle's information.
- In-person submission: Visit the Town Hall (Ayuntamiento) offices located in Plaza de la Constitución. Ensure you bring your original DNI/NIE and a copy of the signed sales contract.
- Digital submission: If you have a digital certificate or Cl@ve PIN, you can submit the document via the official Ontur municipal website through their "Sede Electrónica" (Electronic Office).
- Registry: Always ask for a stamped copy ("sello de entrada") if submitting in person; this is your legal proof that you have fulfilled your duty to notify the administration.

Additional documentation required
To ensure your request is processed without delays, you must attach the following documents to the template:
- A copy of the Sales Contract (Contrato de Compraventa) signed by both parties.
- A copy of your DNI or NIE.
- Proof of the transfer of the vehicle at the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico). While the Town Hall receives updates from the DGT, providing the "Permiso de Circulación" showing the new owner's details speeds up the administrative process significantly.
Expert Tip: Never hand over the keys to the vehicle until the transfer has been initiated at the DGT or until you have a signed contract that clearly states the exact date and time of the sale. Even if you notify the Ontur Town Hall, the definitive legal transfer must be processed through the DGT to fully protect yourself from future fines or potential legal issues related to the vehicle's usage after the sale.
