Pay your local taxes in Mijas: IBI and rubbish fee

Mijas collects its own taxes through the council’s Recaudación. In 2026 the voluntary payment period opened on 16 March and runs to 20 November, and the council gives a 5% discount to those who pay by direct debit.

Why it matters: The council’s discount for direct debit only applies if the bank details are in well before the receipt is sent.
When: You bought or own a home in Mijas and need to know how and when to pay the IBI and the rubbish fee.
How long it takes: 2026: 16 March to 20 November.
Last checked: 25 Oct 2026

Cost: The pages read state no tax amounts.

What you need

For direct debit: "Tiene que entregar la documentación 2 meses antes del envío del recibo al banco según calendario fiscal."

Steps

Check the payment period
The council said for 2026: "el periodo de pago voluntario de impuestos y tasas comenzará el próximo 16 de marzo", "el 6 de abril se girará el abono para la tasa de residuos", and the period "se extenderá hasta el 20 de noviembre."
Set up direct debit (domiciliación)
"Puede domiciliar sus recibos a través de la Sede electrónica (opción recomendable)." The documents must be in two months before the receipt is sent to the bank.
Or pay a receipt that isn’t on direct debit
Use Pago Express on the council’s site (pagosexpress.mijas.es), the electronic office (mijas.sedelectronica.es), or a Recaudación office.
