Full Real-Estate Title-Transfer Package: Procedure, Costs and Tax

Does a transfer tax exist in Georgia?

No — there is no transfer duty and no stamp duty on immovable property in Georgia. The buyer pays only the notarial tariff and the public-registry fee, which is established by a government decree.

What is the notarial fee calculated from?

The basis is the value of the object of the transaction at the moment of the notarial act, as declared by the parties. Where the declared value is manifestly inconsistent, the market value contemplated by the Tax Code is used.

Which services are subject to remuneration?

Performance of the notarial act, drafting the document, issuing copies and technical work, and rendering legal consultation. Where the tariff establishes the fee, the notary must charge only that amount.

How is a servitude transaction valued?

By the increased value of the servient immovable resulting from the servitude burden. With an annual charge, the annual amount counts, which must not exceed the amount calculated for 5 years, and the annual value cannot be less than 10 GEL.

Title Transfer of Real Estate: The Procedure and a Full Breakdown of Costs

Transferring title to immovable property in Georgia is a well-ordered procedure: seller and buyer execute the transaction before a notary, and the ownership right is then registered in the public registry. Along this path the buyer faces two principal financial components: the notarial fee and the fee on the registry side. To plan the costs precisely before the transfer, you need to know which component is regulated by statute and which by subordinate acts — and that breakdown is exactly what this page provides.

The notarial side of the fee is governed by the Rules approved by Government of Georgia Resolution No. 507 of 29 December 2011 (as amended by Resolution No. 272 of 30 May 2022), and this page rests on Articles 3, 4, 6, 9, 10 and 11 of those Rules. The public-registry fees follow a separate regime, discussed below. One clarifying point deserves emphasis at the outset, because it often decides the budgeting of a transfer: Georgia has no transfer duty and no stamp duty on immovable property — these costs are not imposed on the buyer.
