Notary & transfer costs (estimate)
Notary fee scale, registration line, and indicative local tax — for budgeting, not a notarial deed.
Indicative public tariff. Final amounts depend on documents, the municipal rate and extra certifications. Lawyer and bank fees are not included.
Methodology
- Indicative notary fees; amounts follow selected currency
What this estimate covers
A property deal usually adds notary/title fees on a progressive scale, a registration planning line (we use a common 0.1% anchor), and an indicative local acquisition tax that depends on the municipality. Banks, brokers, appraisals, and legal work are not included. Cross-check with the purchase cost overview and mortgage planning for the full picture.
Using BGN / EUR in 2026
Listings may be in euro; the tool converts at a fixed public rate for orientation. For dual labelling in offers, use the dedicated euro labels tool — it is separate from notary math. For rent vs purchase framing, see rent vs buy.
Frequently Asked Questions
How high are notary fees for a property deal?
They follow a notarial scale on the deed value. We show an estimate; the notary sets the final fee.
What does the result include?
An indicative notary fee, a planning registration fee and local transfer tax by municipality. Broker, bank, appraisal and legal fees are excluded.
Who pays the notary fee and registration?
Parties can agree in the preliminary/SPA. This calculator does not know your split.
What is the local transfer tax?
It varies by municipal ordinance. Pick a city and verify the current act and any exemptions (e.g. first home) if they apply.
What varies by municipality?
Local tax rates, reliefs and admin fees. The notarial scale is a national framework; extras are negotiated locally.
Why do real totals differ?
Banks, brokers, appraisers, mortgage registration and lawyers are outside this estimate. Use it for budgeting only.
Is the 0.1% registration figure exact law?
It is a common planning anchor. Confirm the exact fee basis with a professional for your deed.
