How to Notify the Touron City Council 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 stop being liable for the "Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica" (IVTM)—commonly known as the road tax—you must ensure the local authorities in Touron are aware of the change in ownership. This practical guide and template will help you formally notify the City Council to prevent future tax demands or fines from being sent to your name.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in Touron
Once you have completed the sale and officially transferred the title at the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico), you should present this notification to the Touron City Council (Ayuntamiento de Touron). You can submit it via the following methods:
- In-person: Visit the Citizen Attention Office (Oficina de Atención al Ciudadano) at the Town Hall. Remember to request a "sello de entrada" (stamped copy) for your records.
- Online: If you have a digital certificate or Cl@ve PIN, you can upload this document through the official electronic registry (Sede Electrónica) of the Touron City Council.
- Certified Mail: Send the document via "Correo Administrativo" from any post office (Correos), ensuring the envelope is left open so it can be stamped before sealing.

Additional documentation required
To ensure your request is processed without delays, you must attach the following documents to your notification:
- A copy of your DNI, NIE, or Passport.
- A copy of the "Permiso de Circulación" (Vehicle Registration Certificate) showing the new owner's details, or the official report from the DGT confirming the transfer of ownership.
- Proof of the sale date (the "Contrato de Compraventa").
Expert Tip: Never rely on the buyer to notify the City Council. Even if the DGT transfer is automatic, local tax departments often lag behind. Filing this notification immediately after the sale is your best legal protection against receiving an "embargo" or a tax bill for a vehicle you no longer own. Always keep your stamped copy of this notification indefinitely; it is your only proof that you fulfilled your obligation to the municipality.
