Certificado de Empadronamiento
By: nduncan 2009.01.15
Have you heard of the "padr?n"? The
"padr?n" or "certificado de empadronamiento" refers to the process of
registering with the town hall as a resident of your municipality. The process is simple and does not require that you have your residency papers in order. It is free and does not incur any additional taxes (if you own your home, you will be required to pay municipal taxes anyway). It
is important for all residents in a municipality to register in order
for the local government to receive the proper amount of funds
necessary to run the city and maintain infrastructures. Whether
you are purchasing property or renting a home, it is in both your own
and your community's best interest to make the little effort required
to go down to the town hall and register. This
way, you will ensure that your sewage system continues to run smoothly.
Rubbish will disappear o?n schedule and your local health clinic and
post office will be adequately staffed. All
along the Costa del Sol, basic services suffer because so many foreign
residents do not register for the "padr?n" and therefore do not count
when it comes time for the central government to allot budget to their
local municipalities.
