How to Notify the Sale of Your Vehicle to the Ripollet City Council: Free Template Download

When you sell a vehicle in Spain, it is not enough to simply notify the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico). You must also notify your local Town Hall (Ayuntamiento) to stop the accrual of the "Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica" (IVTM), commonly known as the road tax. If you fail to do this, you may continue to be billed for a car you no longer own. This article provides a ready-to-use template specifically for the Ripollet City Council to ensure your tax liability ends immediately upon the sale of your vehicle.

Instructions on how and where to submit it in Ripollet

To process this notification in Ripollet, you have two primary options:

• In-person: You can visit the OAC (Oficina d'Atenció Ciutadana) at the Ripollet Town Hall. It is highly recommended to book an appointment (cita previa) through the official municipal website beforehand.
• Online: If you possess a digital certificate (Certificat Digital) or Cl@ve, you can submit the document via the "Seu Electrònica" of the Ripollet City Council. This is the fastest and most efficient method.

Additional documentation required

When you submit the template above, you must attach the following documents to ensure the request is processed without delays:

• Copy of your DNI/NIE: The identification of the seller.
• Permiso de Circulación: A copy showing the change of ownership or the "Informe de Vehículos" issued by the DGT confirming the new owner.
• Contract of Sale (Contrato de Compraventa): A copy of the signed contract between the buyer and the seller.
• Proof of payment: If applicable, any receipt regarding the transfer of ownership.

Expert Tip: Always keep a stamped copy of your submission (or the digital registration receipt) as proof of the date of notification. The City Council will only stop charging the tax from the date you officially notify them, so do not delay this step once the sale is finalized. If you sold the car months ago and forgot to notify them, submit the paperwork immediately to prevent further tax accrual.
