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?

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.
