International Removals to and from Cerdanyola del Vallès
Cerdanyola del Vallès removals use a council permit named for the move itself, to be requested at least 72 hours ahead, with road space charged at 1,79 euros per metre per hour.
A few short questions. Nothing is sent until you check and confirm.
Which council permit covers a move in Cerdanyola del Vallès?
Cerdanyola del Vallès puts the move in the name of the permit. The council’s procedure page (opens in a new window) is headed “Tall de carrer / Ocupació de la via per mudança (amb o sense tall de circulació)”, which reads as a street cut or road occupation for a move, with or without a traffic cut.
The council describes it as permission to occupy the public road for some hours while a vehicle is parked for loading and unloading, removals, and commercial or industrial work. It lists three variants: occupation without a traffic cut, occupation with a partial cut where vehicles can still pass, even in one direction only, and occupation with a total cut where they cannot pass either way.
The page does not say how the choice between the three is made. For a removal lorry on a narrow street, put the street name and the lorry size to the department when you apply.
What are the 1,79, 15,19 and 30,49 euro figures?
Only one fee line uses the word for a move. It is headed “Ocupació per reserva d’aparcament puntual per a mudances o similars, sense tall de circulació”, a one-off parking reservation for moves or similar work with no traffic cut, and it costs 1,79 euros per metre (or part of a metre) per hour (or part of an hour). As arithmetic only, not a council example: 12 metres held for three hours comes to 12 × 3 × 1,79 = 64,44 euros.
The other two lines concern cuts. For each vehicle with authorised tasks that occupies the road for more than half an hour while cutting traffic partly, the first hour is 15,19 euros and each following hour 7,61 euros. Where the cut is total, the first hour is 30,49 euros and each following hour 15,24 euros.
Those two lines do not use the word for a move; they sit on the same procedure page and apply to any such vehicle. Whether a removal lorry falls under them depends on whether it stops traffic. The page prints no year beside any of these amounts and names the charge as fiscal ordinance number 15, on private and special use of public roads and land. The council’s ordinance file would not open for us, so the current edition is unchecked and the figures should be confirmed when you book.
How much notice does Cerdanyola del Vallès ask for?
The request has to be made at least 72 hours ahead. With less notice, the department “valorarà si és possible concedir el permís”, in other words it will assess whether it can grant the permit, so a late request is judged case by case and nothing is promised.
A second deadline follows once you hold the permit: the person who asked must contact the Local Police 48 hours ahead so that the signs can be checked. That is two clocks, one of three days to the council and one of two days to the police, so a move planned for a Monday morning means asking by Friday morning, on the council’s own count of 72 hours.
Who puts up the signs, and what papers go with the request?
The council places the duty on the applicant. The person asking is “obligada a senyalitzar prèviament el tall de carrer amb els elements necessaris”, must mark the cut in advance with the necessary equipment, and must also take the signs away once the occupation ends.
The papers are a plan of the site showing the features of the occupation and, only when the occupation is by vehicles with lifting platforms, crane lorries or cranes, a copy of the vehicle’s technical sheet and its liability insurance. The page lists no other documents.
Online, the route is a digital certificate, and the form lets you act in your own name or for someone else if you hold an authorisation of representation. In person, the council asks you to book an appointment at one of its citizen-service offices first.
What does the council page leave unsaid?
It gives no limit on vehicle length or weight, no hours of the day when a cut may run, no maximum number of hours, no rule on how neighbours are told, and no word on whether payment is due before the permit or after. It also does not say whether the metre in the 1,79 euro line is kerb length or something else.
If you are moving from the UK, the person arranging the lorry can put those points to the department with the address, and we can pass the street and dates on to the removal company when you send them.
Where does Cerdanyola del Vallès sit among the Catalan guides?
The neighbouring Mollet del Vallès guide shows a different method: a charge per square metre per day instead of per metre per hour. For the city and the wider area, the Barcelona guide is the main page. Customs relief for belongings is on the customs page for removals to Spain; this page keeps to the street permit.
Two other Barcelona-belt councils publish moving rules with different units: Mataró and Cornellà de Llobregat.
