How to Notify the Sale of Your Vehicle to the Otura Town Hall: Free Template Download

Selling a vehicle in Spain involves more than just transferring the title at the DGT (Traffic Department). To avoid being held liable for the "Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica" (IVTM)—commonly known as the road tax—you must formally notify the local Town Hall where the vehicle is registered. If you sold your car and moved or the buyer is slow to register it, this notification protects you from future tax demands in Otura.

How and Where to Submit Your Notification in Otura

To submit this notification, you must present the document at the Otura Town Hall (Ayuntamiento de Otura). You have two main options:

• In-Person: Visit the Citizen Attention Office (Oficina de Atención al Ciudadano) at the Town Hall. Ensure you bring your ID (DNI/NIE) and the original signed contract to show the clerk.
• Online (Electronic Office): If you have a digital certificate or Cl@ve PIN, you can submit the document via the official Otura Sede Electrónica. This is the fastest and most recommended method.

Additional Documentation Required

When you submit the template above, you must attach the following documents to ensure the administrative process is completed successfully:

• Proof of Sale: A copy of the "Contrato de Compraventa" (Sales Contract) signed by both parties.
• Identification: A photocopy of your DNI or NIE.
• DGT Document: If available, a copy of the "Informe de Vehículo" from the DGT showing the change of ownership, or the "Permiso de Circulación" showing the new owner's details.

Expert Tip: Always request a "sello de entrada" (official stamp of receipt) if you submit the document in person. This stamp acts as your legal proof that you notified the authorities. If you are submitting online, download the "justificante de registro" (registration receipt) provided by the electronic portal. Keeping this document is vital, as it serves as your shield if the Town Hall incorrectly sends you a tax bill for the following year.
