Ecuador tax service to auction 21 vehicles and properties in September 2026

Ecuador's Internal Revenue Service, known as the SRI, will auction or sell 21 seized vehicles and properties during September 2026 as it seeks to recover unpaid tax obligations.

The offering includes 12 properties and nine vehicles in Quito, Guayaquil, Santo Domingo and Portoviejo. Starting prices begin at $5,182.88, but the SRI's figure is only the base for the proceeding, not necessarily the final sale price. Interested buyers must meet the stated requirements, provide a financial guarantee and compete with other bidders.

Eight vehicles will be auctioned in Quito on Sept. 17 and 18, while another will go to auction in Santo Domingo on Sept. 25. Their starting prices range from $5,182.88 to $65,109.60. The Santo Domingo vehicle has a base price of $6,992 and an appraised value of $9,322.66. The Quito vehicles will be displayed on Sept. 4 from 9 a.m. to noon near the SRI agency at Galo Plaza Lasso and Luis Tufiño avenues.

Guayaquil's schedule includes four offices, one warehouse and six parking spaces, with proceedings set for Sept. 10 and 14. Office prices start at $39,968.99 and reach $100,267.44. Parking spaces range from $7,305.32 to $7,456.15, and the warehouse starts at $28,181.44.

The list also includes a plot of land in Portoviejo, offered through a direct sale with a base price of $42,287.76 against an appraisal of $84,575.52. The SRI said the assets come from compulsory enforcement procedures used to collect outstanding tax debts. Buyers must check each notice to determine the deadline, required funds and method of purchase.
