thanks for that - and bobd22, I wasn't meaning to infer that you were unfair in not paying for the IBI - yours sounds a completely different state of affairs to ours!

No I'm sorry I never took it that you were.

Why don't you pop into the local hacienda? this seems to be quite common here, they are the ones who send out the bills,I bet they can sort it, best o luck

If you change the language to English then it won't work.....leave it in Spanish and it works fine, that is apart from much of the information not being up to date.
Our house was legally divide nine years ago....they still haven't caught up on there.

Do Hacienda send out IBI bills in other areas? Where I live, it's the Patronato de Recaudacion office who does that and that's where you go to sort out any problems.

But did you fill out the relevant forms to request that the catastro be updated? These things don't happen by magic!

It is SUMA in our area, I believe.

Lynn yes you are correct we went to Patronato de Recaudacion office in Velez Malaga to finally sort ours out and to get a copy of the correct IBI bill in order that we could comlete and pay our none residents tax. In Velez Malaga it is just down the road from the Hacienda on the opposite side of the road next to the pharmacia and by the way they were very helpful and efficient even though we spoke very little Spanish or even really had much of a clue what we were doing. We had first been to the Hacienda and they directed us to correct office. I think like has been said on here before I think if you try and do things right they will help you as much as possible.

Yes, I went there with our late friend's sister a couple of months ago to get things sorted out so the IBI could be paid on the house she has inherited, and they couldn't have been nicer.
