Spanish taxes in Valencia
Modelo 210, IBI bonifications, ITP and ISD for property owners in Valencia — handled by a licensed colegiado who lives the Costa Blanca.
What property owners in Valencia need to know
Valencia capital combines the largest urban property market in CV with a different foreign-buyer profile from the Costa Blanca coast: British, Italian, French, Dutch and German buyers concentrate on urban apartments and digital-nomad-visa moves rather than holiday villas. Valencia's IBI ordenanza is one of the most structured on the coast, with dedicated family-numerosa, VPO and renewable-energy bonifications anchored in our KB.

Municipal plusvalía (IIVTNU) when you sell
València applies the same autonomic tax framework as the Costa Blanca — it is the same Comunitat Valenciana — but the plusvalía municipal is a city matter and is settled with the Ayuntamiento de València, which approves its own IIVTNU rate and coefficients each year within the 30 % ceiling of art. 108 TRLRHL. Land values in a large capital vary sharply by district, and since the base of this tax is the land component alone, two identical sale prices in Russafa and in a peripheral barrio produce very different bills. The seller pays on a sale, replaced by the buyer as substitute taxpayer whenever the seller is a non-resident individual (art. 106.2 TRLRHL), and the lower of the two statutory calculation methods applies.
Plusvalía calculator →The 3 % retention and modelo 211
València's foreign ownership is more urban than coastal: apartments bought to live in or to rent out long-term rather than holiday homes. The 3 % retention applies to all of them equally when the seller is a non-resident. The buyer withholds it and files modelo 211 within about a month of the deed; the seller reports the gain on modelo 210 at 19 % (EU/EEA) or 24 %. One point specific to a rental city: if the flat was let out, the deemed-income and rental modelo 210 filings for the years of ownership are exactly what AEAT reviews before releasing any refund of the excess retention, so a gap in those filings is what typically delays the money rather than the sale paperwork itself.
Guide: selling as a non-resident →IBI: the annual bill and who issues it
València is outside Alicante province, so SUMA has nothing to do with it — SUMA Gestión Tributaria is an organ of the Diputación de Alicante and collects only for the Alicante municipalities that delegated to it. In València the Ayuntamiento de València bills and collects the IBI itself through its own municipal tax administration, and the same is true of the city's other municipal taxes. The rate and the bonifications live in the city's annually approved ordenanza fiscal — València operates structured reliefs, notably for large families on the main home, which require an in-date título de familia numerosa and a padrón certificate showing the flat is the habitual residence. The national rules are unchanged: 1 January accrual (art. 75 TRLRHL) and arrears attached to the property (art. 64.1).
IBI calculator →NIE and empadronamiento
NIE applications for València province are handled by the provincial Oficina de Extranjería and the authorised National Police stations there — not by the Alicante office that serves the Costa Blanca. The procedure itself is identical: form EX-15, €9.84 on 790/012, five days to resolve, prior appointment through the official system, or a consulate abroad. Empadronamiento is the Ayuntamiento de València's own register and, unlike in a holiday town, most foreign owners here actually do live in the city and therefore have to register under Ley 7/1985. It is worth doing promptly: the padrón certificate is the document behind the health card, school enrolment and the municipal IBI bonifications that depend on the flat being your habitual residence.

Specific questions about Valencia
I'm buying an apartment in Valencia city centre as my main home — ITP rate?
CV ITP general rate is 9 % for accruals from 1 June 2026 (Ley 5/2025 GVA), with 11 % on the portion above €1,000,000. A reduced 6 % rate (8 % above €180,000) applies to under-35 buyers of a first vivienda habitual and to general-regime VPO; a 3 % rate (4 % above €180,000) applies to familia numerosa/monoparental, disability, gender-violence victims and special-regime VPO. We verify eligibility before submitting modelo 600.
Valencia's familia-numerosa IBI bonification: documentation needed?
Valencia's IBI ordenanza fiscal art. 14 establishes the familia-numerosa bonification on the principal residence. The town hall requires the título de familia numerosa vigente, padrón certifying the property as habitual residence, and updated cadastral reference for the dwelling. We compile the file annually.
Digital nomad visa from Valencia — IRPF rate for the first 5 years?
Ley 28/2022 (Beckham-style régimen) lets qualifying remote workers tax Spanish-source income at a flat 24 % up to 600k EUR/year for up to 5 years, instead of progressive IRPF + CV autonomic brackets. Foreign-source income is largely outside Spanish tax in this regime. We model both scenarios before applying.
Does SUMA handle my IBI if I own a flat in València city?
No. SUMA Gestión Tributaria belongs to the Diputación de Alicante and collects only for Alicante-province municipalities that delegated collection to it under art. 7 TRLRHL. València is in a different province: the Ayuntamiento de València bills and collects your IBI through its own municipal tax administration, sets the rate and the bonifications in its annual ordenanza fiscal, and is where you set up the direct debit or lodge an objection. The national mechanics are the same everywhere — accrual on 1 January, the property liable for arrears.
Recent regulatory changes
Valencia capital's IBI ordenanza 2025 (in our KB) preserved the art. 12 VPO 50 % bonification for 3 years and the art. 14 familia-numerosa scaled bonification. The Conselleria operates Valencia under modelo 600 telemática.
