Which Registro Público records sales in San Diego, Carabobo?

SAREN's finder does not list a Registro Público in San Diego. According to a 2007 TSJ ruling, which records what one of the parties stated, since 1998 that jurisdiction has belonged to the office of the Municipios Naguanagua y San Diego; SAREN now lists it as Registro Público del Municipio Naguanagua, in the C.C. Paseo La Granja, piso 1. Confirm it before you go.

Where is the Notaría Pública de San Diego?

According to SAREN's finder in October 2026, at Centro Comercial Big Low Center, nave D, local 20, San Diego.

How do I know if the seller owes taxes to the San Diego alcaldía?

According to a press report from January 2026, the debt lookup is done in the Oficina Virtual on the alcaldía's website with the holder's cédula, indicating whether it is a natural person or a legal entity, and you can pay from there. The amount is calculated in bolívares at the BCV rate and may vary daily.

How much does the solvencia municipal cost in San Diego?

We did not find the fee published in the sources we could open, because the alcaldía's website did not load from outside Venezuela. Ask at the alcaldía before setting the signing date.

Are there discounts on the property tax in San Diego?

The press reports rebates decided each year: 50% in 2026 for taxpayers who are up to date, closing on January 31 according to Notitarde and FMUC (another outlet gave the 30th), and 20% in 2025 and in 2022. Do not assume they will be repeated; confirm with the alcaldía.

Buying a property in San Diego, Carabobo

The municipality and the offices involved

San Diego is a municipality of Carabobo state and one of the five that make up the city of Valencia; it was a parish of the former Distrito Valencia until 1994 (Wikipedia)). Because many addresses in the area say "Valencia", confirm in the title document that the property is in the Municipio San Diego: that determines which alcaldía (city hall) you ask for the solvencia (municipal tax clearance).

Procedure	Office	Published address
Debt lookup and payment of the tax	Dirección de Administración Tributaria (municipal tax office; according to the press)	Oficina Virtual (virtual office) at alcaldiadesandiego.gob.ve and treasury windows at the alcaldía
Recording the sale	Registro Público del Municipio Naguanagua (as SAREN, the national registries and notaries service, names it; confirm, see below)	C.C. Paseo La Granja, piso 1, oficinas 101, 102, 103 y 110
Authenticating an option or a power of attorney	Notaría Pública de San Diego	Centro Comercial Big Low Center, nave D, local 20, San Diego

The Registro (public registry) and Notaría (notary office) addresses are the ones in the office finder of SAREN in October 2026. The name of the tax office comes from press reports from January 2026 (FMUC, Notitarde). The alcaldía's website did not load from outside Venezuela, so we could not check cadastre or fees on it.

Solvencia municipal and cadastre

The Registro cannot record a document that transfers or encumbers the property without the ISLR (income tax) advance payment form and the solvencia for municipal taxes "on rural land and urban properties" (article 97 of the Ley de Registros y Notarías, the Registries and Notaries Law). In San Diego, this is what we could verify in the press:

Online debt lookup: in the Oficina Virtual on the alcaldía's website you choose the debt lookup, enter the holder's cédula (national ID card) and indicate whether it is a natural person or a legal entity; you pay from there (FMUC, January 13, 2026).

Payment methods: pago móvil (mobile payment), bank transfer and payment at the treasury windows.

The amount may vary daily: the tax is paid in bolívares calculated at the official rate of the BCV (Central Bank of Venezuela) for the highest-value currency (Notitarde, January 7, 2026). So it is best to request the account statement on the same day you pay. In 2025, after paying the property tax online you had to report the payment at the treasury windows (El Carabobeño, January 9, 2025).

Fees for the solvencia and the cadastral document: not published in the sources we could open; nor do we know whether the alcaldía says cédula catastral (cadastral certificate) or ficha catastral (cadastral record), or what documents it requires. Ask before setting the signing date. The general rules are in the guide to solvencia municipal and cédula catastral.

The Impuesto sobre Inmuebles Urbanos (municipal property tax)

Rates, amounts per m² and the number of the ordinance: not published in an official source we could open. What the press did report are rebates decided year by year:

Year	Reported rebate	Reported period	Source
2026	50% on the property tax and the vehicle tax, for taxpayers who are up to date	In force from January 1; collection drive from January 8 to 31	Notitarde (January 7, 2026) and FMUC (January 13, 2026)
2025	20% on the property tax and the vehicle tax	We do not cite the date: the article says "31/10/2025", which looks like a typo	El Carabobeño (January 9, 2025)
2022	20% on the property tax and the vehicle tax	From January 10 to 31	Infoenlace (January 5, 2022)

For 2026, Notitarde speaks of a decree by the mayor, and according to the tax office (FMUC) the rebate applied automatically to anyone who was up to date; anyone with debts from previous years had to pay them first. Notitarde and FMUC give January 31 as the closing date, but another local outlet ran the headline "until January 30": confirm the deadline with the alcaldía. Do not assume the rebate will be repeated. More context in the guide to the municipal property tax.

Which Registro serves San Diego

SAREN does not list a Registro in San Diego. In San Diego its finder shows only the Notaría. The office in the C.C. Paseo La Granja appears as "Registro Público del Municipio Naguanagua", without San Diego, even though other offices in the state do carry all their municipalities in the name (the one for Guacara, San Joaquín and Diego Ibarra).

What the 2007 ruling says. In a ruling by the Sala Constitucional of the TSJ (Supreme Court, Constitutional Chamber) of November 7, 2007 (case file 06-1780), the lawyer for one of the parties stated that since 1998, with the creation of the Oficina Subalterna de Registro de los Municipios Naguanagua y San Diego (subordinate registry office), that office has had territorial jurisdiction over a plot of land in San Diego. The Sala records that statement and certifications from the "Registradora Inmobiliaria de los Municipios Naguanagua y San Diego" (property registrar), but it did not rule on jurisdiction (it declared the amparo, a constitutional protection action, inadmissible). That this office serves San Diego today is what that ruling and SAREN's list indicate; confirm before you go.

Documents from before 1998. In that case, the 1990 purchase had been recorded at the Oficina Subalterna del Primer Circuito de Registro del Municipio Valencia, and in 2007 the Sala asked that Registro for information on documents from 1948 and 1990. If the property has documents from before 1998, ask whether the check of title and encumbrances should also cover the Valencia books (SAREN lists that Registro at Callejón Mujica 127-19, sector Aguas Blancas). According to that ruling and SAREN's list; confirm before you go.

The general steps of the purchase

The seller gets up to date with the San Diego alcaldía and obtains the solvencia.
