Forcarei opens the collection of the 2026 IBI in the voluntary period

The Official Gazette of the Province of Pontevedra (BOPPO), in its issue number 168 of Wednesday, September 2, 2026, publishes the announcement from the Tax Management and Local Tax Collection Body (ORAL) of the Provincial Council of Pontevedra by which the collection lists for the property tax (IBI) of a rural, urban, and special characteristics nature for the 2026 fiscal year of the Municipality of Forcarei are made public. The lists were approved by resolution of the Treasury on August 12, 2026.

The public exhibition serves as a collective notification, under article 102.3 of Law 58/2003, of December 17, General Tax Law (LXT), and will be sent to the included municipalities for insertion on the notice board. Interested parties may consult the records relating exclusively to their tax debt at the Municipality of Forcarei and in the ORAL offices during the exhibition period, from September 4 to October 5, 2026, both dates included.

Voluntary payment period

In accordance with articles 18, 24, and 25 of the general tax ordinance of the ORAL, in relation to article 62.3 of the LXT and articles 23, 24, and 25 of the General Collection Regulations, of July 29, 2005, the voluntary payment period for the 2026 IBI for Forcarei begins on September 4 and ends on November 6, 2026, both dates included.

Non-direct debit receipts will be sent by ordinary postal mail to the sole address of each taxpayer; this mailing does not constitute a notification, and its non-receipt does not exempt the taxpayer from the obligation to pay. The payment documents include two collection references: the first is valid during the voluntary period, and the second, starting from the day following the end of this period, includes the principal debt and the 5% executive surcharge.

Methods and places of payment

Payment can be made through several channels:

• The Virtual Tax Office (OVT) of the ORAL (https://ovt.depo.gal)
• The payment application of the Provincial Council of Pontevedra (available for iOS and Android)
• At the branch of any of the collaborating entities: ABANCA, Banco Santander, BBVA, CaixaBank, Ibercaja Banco, Sabadell, and Unicaja Banco, as well as at ATMs or via the internet

Correctly direct-debited receipts will be charged to the corresponding accounts on the date indicated in the tax calendar. In-person assistance at the ORAL offices will be provided, where applicable, by prior appointment, which can be requested through the ORAL website (https://oral.depo.gal), the OVT, the electronic office (https://sede.depo.gal/citaprevia/), or the tax assistance telephones 886 211 400 and 886 211 420.

Appeals and legal warning

An appeal for reversal may be filed against the aforementioned resolution and the settlements included therein before the Treasury of the Provincial Council within one month, counted from the day following the end of the public exhibition, prior to a contentious-administrative appeal, in accordance with article 14.2 of the Legislative Royal Decree 2/2004, of March 5, of the Recast Text of the Local Treasuries Law.

The expiration of the payment deadline during the voluntary period without the debt being satisfied will determine the start of the executive period, and the debts will be demanded through the enforcement procedure, claiming the corresponding executive period surcharges, late payment interest and, where applicable, any costs incurred.

The publication affects all taxpayers of the Council of Forcarei, who have their tax management and collection delegated to the Deputation of Pontevedra. Knowing the dates and payment channels is key to avoiding surcharges and the start of the executive period, therefore it is recommended to review the receipts and, if applicable, arrange for direct debit payment before November 6.
