SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE IBI

How is the amount due for the IBI bill calculated? Why has the amount of the bill gone up this year? The personal information that appears on the bill is not correct Incorrect information appears in the identification and description of my property (street name, house number, etc.) I do not agree with the cadastral value of my real estate I bought a house and the bill is still issued in the name of the former owner I bought a house in March of this year. Do I have to pay IBI? I bought a home that had debts on it in the former owner's name. Can I be held liable for those debts? I bought a newly built home, but no bill has yet been issued. When will it be issued? I sold my property and bills are still issued in my name

I have bought a new vehicle. Do I have to pay the Motor Vehicle Tax? I am going to sell my vehicle. What should I do in order to ensure bills are no longer issued in my name? I am going to deregister my car. Which is the procedure? I am leaving Spain and moving to another country and I am taking my car with me. What should I do? My car was stolen. How can I cancel its registration? I cancelled the registration of my vehicle in the Provincial Traffic Department but I still receive tax bills. What can I do? I have moved to a new address. What should I do? If I cancel the registration in April, do I have to pay vehicle tax for the whole year? What procedure must I follow if I have turned my used car over to a car dealer?

Opening Hours and details of Almoradí and Torrevieja Suma offices

Hi Morerosado,

Great posts, very informative.  One quick question.  If my property is on a golf complex am I still liable for the refuse, sewage etc taxes raised by the local town hall or are these paid by the community management company from my community fees?

Cheers,

Ken.
