YMF I was talking to a woman in the Florentina who had gone to the expense of the plans etc that you mention, having been advised that that was the way to go. When she presented it to the town hall, I believe it was so she could be registered for the IB tax, she was told she needn't have bothered and would be billed in the fullness of time.
I have every sympathy with those who have no elex and how uncomfortable that must be, and was upset at the thought of possibly being cut off in my absence and the plants dying through lack of water. Then I considered that my neighbour would probably give them a drink or two until my next visit. And then there was the news footage about those poor people in Africa and the terrible floods wrecking their homes, their crops, their livestock, their foodsource and I am simply not worrying another iota. Que sera sera.

Then when we get our Cadastral registration number we can submit that to Chiclana to be assessed for IBI.

I suppose it is a similar system to the UK used to have, now of course property is divided into bands so you pay according to which category you fit into. Here it seems each property is assessed separately and unless they know what you have they cannot know what to charge you.

That is my understanding of it, it is not necessarily correct but I do trust my estate agent and their knowledge of Chiclana and how it works.
