Notary & transfer costs (estimate)
Notary fee scale, registration line, and indicative local tax — for budgeting, not a notarial deed.
Figures are for orientation; the notary and tax office set final amounts.
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.
