Good to know

Bills are not always posted. Many charges are announced collectively in the provincial gazette; the deadline then runs whether or not anything reached your letterbox. A direct debit removes the problem entirely.

After buying a property, change the holder. Until you do, reminders go to the previous owner and the debt attaches to the property, not to them.

Once a charge passes into enforcement, a surcharge is added and interest runs. Suma is reachable and usually helpful, but the surcharge itself is fixed by law and cannot be waived.

Fees and charges

Rates are set by the municipality and published in the bylaws: altea.es → Ordenanzas fiscales. Suma collects; it does not set the rates. Amounts for the current period are on your own bill.

Frequently asked questions

Why Suma and not the town hall?

Altea, like most municipalities in the province, has delegated collection to Suma, which belongs to the provincial council. The rates are still set by Altea.

I never received a bill.

That does not suspend the deadline. Check your position at suma.es or at the counter, and set up a direct debit.

I have sold the property.

Notify the change of holder. Until the cadastre and Suma are updated, bills continue in your name.

Can I pay from a foreign account?

Yes, any SEPA account works for the direct debit.
