Title: Ibi
Post by: monk on April 17, 2013, 21:20:39 PM
Hi guys, just wondering if someone can tell me when the IBI is due?

It is due now as of 1st April and you have until the end of June to pay it.

They have swapped IBI and Basura around AGAIN! so Basura will be due around October.  ::)

Thanks for the info, I thought we paid for them both at the same time certainly for the past 2 years I've only made one trip to Tenencia de Alcadía around May time to pay them.

I thought one was due in October and one in April. Is this right?

Yes, last year Basura, €30 one, was due in April and IBI in October.

This year, IBI April, Basura October.  i am so glad we do it Direct Debit.   ;D

Remember that not all Town Halls work in the same way so in some areas the basura won't be payable until later in the year but for example in La Oliva both basura and IBI are due. It is best to check with your local Town Hall to see what rates have been released for payment.

Ours has just gone out.  €350   :o

Not quite sure why we pay so much, unless it is because Castillo Mar is classed as Tourist. This is a one bed with a catastral value of around €56k.

Any thoughts, examples?

My IBI has gone up from 305 euros to 364 in Caleta.  That's for a 3 bed with some land; so yours is very high Deso :(

Apparently properties have recently been re- rated. Not sure why, they should just say bills are going up 20%.

I have recently found out that the IBI is calculated on building size, and gardens are not in that measurement.So for Amuley Mar 1 , your Garage area and downstairs bedroom / ensuite could be the reason for a higher charge.

Yes, I believe a garage or garage space are registered as a building in their own right and can be sold as a separate entity.
So in effect, you are paying for two buildings FF
