Buying property in Ibiza is only complete once your ownership is officially recorded in Spain’s Land Registry. Without registration, you’re not fully protected — even if the deed is signed.
At Borderless Lawyers, we handle the full post-sale process for our foreign clients — including tax payments and title registration.
🖋️ Step 1: Sign the Public Deed at the Notary
After due diligence and payment:
-
You (or your lawyer via POA) sign the escritura pública
-
The notary validates the deed and notifies the Land Registry electronically
✅ We represent you at the notary and collect the original deed afterward.
💶 Step 2: Pay Property Transfer Taxes
Depending on the type of property:
-
Resale Property:
-
ITP (Impuesto sobre Transmisiones Patrimoniales):
-
8–10% depending on price
-
-
-
New Build:
-
VAT (IVA): 10%
-
Stamp Duty (AJD): 1.5%
-
✅ We calculate and pay the taxes within the legal deadline to avoid penalties.
🗂️ Step 3: Register the Deed at the Land Registry
Once taxes are paid:
-
We submit the original deed, tax forms, and proof of payment
-
Registration takes 2–6 weeks, depending on the registry’s volume
-
You receive the registered title proving legal ownership
🧾 Step 4: Notify the Cadastre (Catastro)
-
The Catastro must be updated for property tax (IBI) and municipal records
-
We notify them of the change in ownership and provide cadastral alignment
💡 Without this, you might miss tax bills or face utility setup issues.
📋 Documents Required
-
Notarized deed (escritura pública)
-
ITP/IVA tax proof
-
Form 600 (for ITP) or 600/Modelo 303 (for IVA)

⚠️ Why Registration Matters

Utility companies and tax authorities may not recognize you

You risk fines or liens if taxes go unpaid
