Pay your household bills in Barcelona
In Barcelona, water is supplied through the metropolitan water company Aigües de Barcelona, and the municipal rubbish fee follows your water supply contract. The property tax (IBI) comes from the Institut Municipal d’Hisenda (IMH), with payment dates published each year.
- Why it matters
- Water, the rubbish fee and the property tax are billed differently from city to city, and in Catalonia some charges ride on the water bill.
- When
- You have moved into a home in Barcelona and need to know which local bills to expect.
