Payment via the Internet is also accepted through the Taxpayer Virtual Office (https://registro.diputaciondeburgos.es/sta), which does not require an electronic ID or personal digital certificate and accepts Mastercard, Eurocard, and Visa cards.

The Provincial Council recommends the direct debit system through financial institutions. Account charges for direct debited receipts will be made on October 5, 2026, and direct debit orders formalized from the start of the voluntary period will take effect in the following fiscal year.

Public exhibition, appeals, and payment warning

The registers will remain available to interested parties for one month at the respective town halls and at the Collection Service of the Provincial Council, located at Paseo del Espolón, 34, Burgos. An appeal for reversal may be filed against the approval of each register and the incorporated settlements before the corresponding mayor within one month from the day following the end of the public exhibition; in the case of irrigation communities, the appeal is addressed to the president of the community.

The announcement warns, in accordance with Article 24 of the General Collection Regulations approved by Royal Decree 939/2005, of July 29, that once the payment period has elapsed, debts will be demanded through the enforcement procedure and will accrue executive and enforcement surcharges, late payment interest, and procedural costs.

The calendar affects thousands of taxpayers in the province who depend on provincial collection management: those with pending receipts have slightly more than two months to pay without a surcharge, and the date of October 5 marks the first automatic charge for those using direct debit.
