After you've bought a Property

[jennyshaw]

What should you pay, Yearly, quarterly, monthly weekly?

I bought 18 months ago and apart from paying my electricity by direct debit straight from the bank and water bills in the bank, and because we bought an apartment from a block of 3 floors the first being garages which belong to the people above us, which was all owned by on person which was split it all up between his relatives when he died, the person who inherited our apartment didn't want it so he sold it to us, and last year we just gave them a third of the property tax, (is that the IBI?) which they were happy with.

We don't live there just holiday there, all I have is my NIE and bank account, no residency etc.

Should I be paying anything else? to anyone, and when?

I pay I.B.I. (Rates), Basura (Rubbish) and Car tax, all to the Town Hall. I do it by direct debit, but you can just go and pay cash. You should go and register with your Town Hall.

If you do not pay on time, most Town Halls inpose a penalty. Technically it is the other way round in that they give you a discount for promp payment.

I know all properties will differ, but what roughly should I expect to pay for I.B.I and Barusa on a 3 bed apartment Estepona.
