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

When you sell a vehicle in Spain, it is not enough to simply sign the contract with the buyer. To avoid future tax liabilities, such as the IVTM (Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica), you must formally notify the local authorities. This article provides a practical guide and a ready-to-use template to notify the Santiga (Santa Perpètua de Mogoda) Town Hall that you are no longer the owner of the vehicle.

Instructions on how and where to submit your notification in Santiga

In Spain, the "Notificación de Venta" serves as proof that you have transferred ownership. By submitting this to the Santiga Town Hall (Ayuntamiento de Santa Perpètua de Mogoda), you ensure that future municipal tax bills are directed to the new owner. You can submit this via the following channels:

• Electronic Office (Sede Electrónica): This is the fastest method. Visit the official Santa Perpètua de Mogoda website and use your digital certificate or Cl@ve PIN to submit the document through the "Instancia General."
• In-Person (Presencial): You can visit the OAC (Oficina de Atención Ciudadana) at the Town Hall. Note that an appointment (cita previa) is usually required.

Additional documentation required

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

• A copy of your DNI, NIE, or Passport.
• A copy of the "Permiso de Circulación" (Vehicle Registration Document) showing the transfer of ownership or, at the very least, the signed "Contrato de Compraventa" (Sales Contract).
• Proof of the transfer of the vehicle at the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico). While the Town Hall receives some data automatically, providing your own proof of the DGT change of ownership speeds up the process significantly.

Expert Tip: Always keep a stamped copy of your submission (the "registro de entrada"). If the Town Hall continues to send you tax bills for a year you no longer owned the car, this stamped document is your primary legal defense to request a refund or cancellation of the debt. Never hand over the original sales contract; always provide photocopies.
