Why do I need to register on the Padron? The Padron is similar to the electoral register of every citizen who has either bought a home to live permanently as a holiday home or rent a long term property. The local government provide services and maintenance to the local community, Schools, Police, Emergency Services, Beaches and Bin collections. The utilities companies also work together with the Town Hall registration. Water (Aqua) and Electricity (Iberdrola). Failure to register on the Padron results in loss of revenue to the Town Hall to provide the services everyone deserves to live their dream in Orihuela Costa.
