How to Notify the Tineo Town Hall of a Vehicle Sale: Downloadable Template

If you have recently sold your vehicle, notifying the local authorities is a critical step to avoid future tax liabilities. In Spain, even after selling a car, you remain liable for the Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica (IVTM), commonly known as the "road tax," until the Tineo Town Hall is officially informed of the change in ownership. This template provides you with the exact wording required to formally notify the Tineo authorities and stop the tax accrual process.

How and Where to Submit Your Notification in Tineo

To ensure your notification is processed correctly, you must submit the document to the Tineo Town Hall (Ayuntamiento de Tineo) registry. You have two primary options:

• In-person: Visit the Oficina de Atención al Ciudadano at the Tineo Town Hall. Remember to bring your ID (DNI/NIE) and a photocopy of the signed sales contract.
• Online: If you possess a digital certificate (Certificado Digital) or Cl@ve PIN, you can submit the document via the Sede Electrónica of the Tineo Town Hall website. This is the fastest and most efficient method.

AL AYUNTAMIENTO DE TINEO

D./Dña. [Full Name], mayor de edad, con DNI/NIE número [ID Number], y domicilio a efectos de notificaciones en [Your Address], ante este Ayuntamiento comparezco y, como mejor proceda, DIGO:

Que con fecha [Date of Sale], he procedido a la venta del vehículo de mi propiedad, marca [Brand], modelo [Model], y matrícula [License Plate Number].

Que, a los efectos oportunos, y en cumplimiento de la normativa vigente en materia de Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica (IVTM), solicito que se proceda a la baja del padrón municipal de dicho vehículo a mi nombre o, en su caso, a la actualización de los datos del titular.

Por lo expuesto, SOLICITO:
Que se tenga por presentado este escrito y sus documentos adjuntos, y se proceda a realizar las gestiones necesarias para que no se me sigan girando los recibos del mencionado impuesto correspondientes a periodos impositivos posteriores a la fecha de transmisión.

En Tineo, a [Day] de [Month] de [Year].

Fdo.: [Your Signature]

Additional Documentation Required

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

• Photocopy of the Sales Contract: The document signed by both the buyer and the seller (Contrato de compraventa).
• Proof of Transfer: A copy of the Permiso de Circulación updated with the buyer's details, or the official confirmation from the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico) indicating the transfer has been completed.
• Copy of your DNI/NIE: A clear copy of your identification document.

Expert Tip: Always keep a stamped copy of the notification after submitting it at the registry. This is your only legal proof that you have fulfilled your obligation to the Tineo Town Hall. If you receive a tax bill for the following year due to an administrative lag, this stamped document will be your primary evidence to request a cancellation of the debt. Do not rely solely on the DGT transfer; local tax databases often require a specific notification from the taxpayer to update their records.
