After You Buy

Ongoing Obligations for Property Owners

Buying the property is only the beginning.

Property owners in Spain may have ongoing obligations including:

  • Non-Resident Tax or Resident tax (depending on your residency status)
  • Property Tax (also known as Property tax, IBI or SUMA bill)
  • Rubbish Collection Tax
  • Community fees
  • Utility fees (Water, electricity and gas (if applicable))
  • Rental tax obligations (where applicable)

Many international owners find these requirements confusing, particularly when living abroad.

For this reason, many of our clients choose our Sweet Home Service, which provides ongoing assistance with property-related tax and administrative matters throughout the year.
