Lupiana opens the modification of the IBI ordinance for public consultation

The Plenary of the Lupiana City Council provisionally approved the modification of the Fiscal Ordinance Regulating the Real Estate Tax (IBI) in an extraordinary session held on October 15, 2026. The agreement is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Guadalajara No. 201, dated October 21, 2026, with official reference 2026_2762, and opens a 30-day period for any interested party to examine the file and submit allegations. If no claims are registered, the modification will be definitively approved without the need for a new plenary pronouncement.

Thirty days to file allegations before the City Council

The announcement is based on Article 17.2 of the Recast Text of the Law Regulating Local Treasuries, approved by Royal Legislative Decree 2/2004, of March 5, which requires fiscal ordinance modifications to be submitted for public information before their definitive approval. The file was instructed by the competent services of the local entity, as stated in the published text.

The deadlines and means of access to the file are as follows:

• The public information period is 30 days and is counted from the day following the insertion of the announcement in the Official Gazette of the Province, that is, starting from October 22, 2026.
• The file may be examined at the municipal offices of Lupiana.
• It is also available to interested parties on the City Council’s electronic office, https://lupiana.sedelectronica.es/.
• Allegations must be submitted within this period; once this period has elapsed without claims, the provisional approval agreement will be understood as definitively approved.

The announcement was signed in Lupiana on October 16, 2026, by the mayor, Blanca del Río Baños, and bears the verification code 8864d5e51d98891ae8d39e41c5bd81b6f1ccae93.

What changes and what the announcement does not detail

The published text does not specify the material content of the modification: it does not specify tax rates, coefficients, bonuses, or the scope of the changes introduced in the ordinance. This information is contained in the file now open to the public, therefore, exact knowledge of the modifications requires consulting the file at the municipal offices or on the electronic office.

What the announcement does establish is the procedure: the approval is provisional, not definitive, and is conditioned on the result of the public information process. Any interested person, and not only registered owners, may appear and formulate the claims they deem appropriate during the open period.

A plenary session with several fiscal folders

The modification of the IBI (Property Tax) was not the only fiscal matter approved in the extraordinary session of October 15, 2026. The same Official Provincial Gazette no. 201 contains other resolutions from the Lupiana City Council linked to the municipal treasury:

• Initial approval of the Fiscal Ordinance Regulating the Tax on Mechanical Traction Vehicles, with 30 days of public information (reference 2026_2760).
• Provisional approval of the modification of the Fiscal Ordinance Regulating the Tax on Constructions, Installations and Works, also with 30 days of public exhibition (reference 2026_2761).
• Initial approval of the General Budget for the 2026 financial year, exhibited to the public for 15 days (reference 2026_2763).
• Initial approval of an extraordinary credit file financed by liquid treasury surplus (MOD. 6/2026), with 15 days of public information (reference 2026_2764).

Altogether, the municipal plenary concentrated in a single session the revision of the three main local tax figures—IBI, ICIO, and vehicle tax—along with the accounts for the next financial year and a credit modification.

Direct impact on the annual bill

The IBI ordinance is the regulation that determines how much each property owner in Lupiana pays for their real estate, meaning that any change in its articles is transferred to the bill of the following year. The process opened now is the last opportunity for residents and property holders in the municipality to learn about the changes before the regulation comes into force and to formally discuss them before the City Council. Anyone who does not file an objection within the 30-day period will lose that avenue, and the modification will be consolidated.
