What do you pay when buying property in Bulgaria?

A listing shows only the price of the property. On transfer of ownership the buyer also pays several mandatory fees. They are calculated on the so-called material interest – the higher of the agreed price and the property's tax valuation.

Notary fee

Set by a state tariff with a decreasing rate, capped at €3,068. 20% VAT is added on top.

Registry fee

0.1% of the material interest, paid to the Registry Agency.

Local tax

Paid to the municipality where the property is located. Each municipality sets its rate between 0.1% and 3%. In Nessebar it is 3%.

The fees are usually paid by the buyer, unless the contract says otherwise.
