When the addresses in the property certificate and the property tax card do not match, it is necessary to take some measures to regularize the situation. Here is what you should do:
Property Tax Card Update
-
Go to the Tax Service to request the update of the property matrix.
-
Bring with you a Toponymic Certificate, which can be obtained from the Municipal Council. This document officially declares the change of the street name or door number.
-
If the property registration is correct, also present the updated Permanent Property Registration Certificate at the tax counter.
Property Registration Update
-
If necessary, first go to the Property Registration Office to update the property registration.
-
The objective is to ensure that both the Property Tax Card and the Permanent Property Registration Certificate are in compliance.
Importance of Update
It is crucial to keep these documents updated and consistent with each other, as:
-
The Property Tax Card contains essential tax information for calculating IMI and other tax obligations.
-
The Property Certificate (or Permanent Property Registration Certificate) reflects the legal situation of the property, including owners and any encumbrances.
-
If the property is transacted, address discrepancies are not accepted, so the toponymic certificate is always necessary.
By ensuring that both documents are correct and aligned, you avoid future problems in real estate transactions, tax payments, and other legal issues related to the property.
