Calculating IBI in Barcelona: A Complete Guide for Property Owners
The Real Estate Tax (IBI) is an annual tax that all property owners in Barcelona must pay. To help you better understand this tax and calculate its amount, CDM Immobilier offers you this complete guide.
What is IBI?
The IBI is a local tax that finances municipal public services. Its amount is calculated based on the cadastral value of your property and a coefficient set by the town hall.
How to calculate the IBI in Barcelona?
Calculating the IBI is relatively simple:
- Cadastral value: This is the official value of your property, determined by the land registry.
- Municipal coefficient : In Barcelona, this coefficient is generally 0.66% for properties on urban land.
- Calculation: IBI = Cadastral value x Municipal coefficient
Example: For a property with a cadastral value of €100,000, the annual IBI would be €100,000 x 0.66% = €660.
Where can I find the cadastral value of my property? ?
You can check the cadastral value of your property on the Spanish Land Registry website or by visiting a Land Registry office. You will need the cadastral reference of your property.
