What is this procedure?

It is the procedure through which the person or company that owns an activity that has a valid license or prior communication, informs the City Council, which transmits the corresponding title that enabled them to carry out the activity.

This communication to the City Council serves to prove the subrogation of the new owner in the rights and duties derived from the license or prior communication.

The registration of the transfer of the title enabling the exercise of the activity in the Municipal Registry of Activities is conditional on the presentation of the Joint Declaration of transfer of ownership of an activity, which you will find in the "Documents" section. This document will ONLY be valid if it is signed electronically by the holder before the transfer, and by the new holder, or if the signatures of both are accompanied by bank or notarial recognition.

In the event of not submitting the Joint Declaration of Transfer of Ownership of an activity, or if it is not correctly signed, it may be resolved to nullify the communication, order the cessation of the activity and, where appropriate, restore the legal situation to the time prior to the start of the corresponding activity, given the provisions of articles 42 and 43 of Law 18/2020, of December 28, on the facilitation of economic activity, without prejudice to the initiation of the corresponding sanctioning procedure.

Who can apply for it?

Both the transferor and the new owner

What documentation must be submitted?

  • Joint declaration of transfer of ownership of activities (Form LLA-010)

How much does it cost?

This procedure is not free.

The self-assessment of taxes must be requested from the Tax Management Department, prior to the presentation of the documentation, and payment must be made once the payment letter has been received. The receipt accrediting the settlement of the taxes will be included with the rest of the documentation that must be attached to formalize the procedure. The request for taxes will be made through the TXIA procedure - Interventions in Activities: Payment Letter, which can be accessed via the link on the right side of the page.

Failure to pay the fees relating to the economic activity before it begins will result in the declaration or communication being rendered ineffective, in accordance with the verification procedure established in article 42 of Law 18/2020, of December 28, on the facilitation of economic activity.
