These fees are borne by the buyer and broken down into several parts: registration duties, notary fees, publication fees, VAT in specific cases, as well as other miscellaneous fees.
1. Registration duties:
Contact us These duties represent approximately 5% of the property value (amount negotiable between buyer and seller).
Legal basis: Articles 91, 208, 220, 226, 231 and 252 of the Registration Code.
User They are paid to the state and serve to officially register the transaction in the public records.
Special cases: In the case of a new property acquired from a developer, the buyer may be exempted from these fees. This exemption is not automatic, but depends on whether the property development project benefited from a tax advantage under the investment law.
2. Notary fees:
Contact us Notary fees are regulated by a scale set by the state and vary according to the property value.
Legal basis: Executive Decree No. 08-244 of 3 August 2008.
User These fees remunerate the notary for drafting the deed of sale, verifying legal documents, and guaranteeing the legality of the transaction.
3. Publication fees:
Contact us Describe your property
Legal basis: Article 353-1 of the Registration Code.
User These fees cover the publication of the deed of sale or transfer of ownership in official journals or other media required by law.
Practical example: For a property worth 10 million DZD (Algerian dinars), notary fees may be broken down as follows:
- Registration duties: 500,000 DA.
- Notary fees: 130,000 DA (1% of the price).
- Land publication fees: 100,000 DA (1% of the price).
4. Value Added Tax (VAT): A cost specific to new properties:
VAT is an essential component of the fees borne by the buyer only when acquiring a new property from a property developer.
Key points to remember:
The main financial difference between an existing property and a new property is the 9% VAT, which is added to the cost of a new property.
In summary, notary fees in Algeria generally represent between 6% and 7% of the total property price. It is important to budget for them when buying or selling a property.
There is no specific law in Algeria that explicitly obliges the seller or buyer to pay registration fees, land publication fees, notary fees and miscellaneous fees when transferring ownership of a property. The allocation of these fees generally depends on agreements established between the parties and local practices, except in the case of capital gains taxes (IPC) which is a tax specific to sellers.
