Step by step

  1. Fee base

    fee base = max(sale price; property tax value) (fractions under 10 TRY dropped)

    fee base = max(5,000,000.00; 0.00) = 5,000,000.00 TRY

  2. share per party = max(fee base × per mille 20; minimum fee)

    share per party = max(5,000,000.00 × 20 / 1000; 411.60) = 100,000.00 TRY

  3. Total title deed fee

    total title deed fee = 2 × share per party

    total title deed fee = 2 × 100,000.00 = 200,000.00 TRY

Formula

  • Fee base = max(sale price; property tax value), fractions under 10 TRY dropped
  • Share per party = max(fee base × rate / 1000; minimum fee)
  • Total title deed fee = 2 × share per party
  • Fee base = total title deed fee × 1000 / (2 × rate) (when you start from the fee)

The sale price is the transfer price declared at the land registry. The property tax value is the value the municipality sets for the property; the fee base cannot be below it. The rate is 20 per mille since 22 Sep 2012; the calculator takes the rate and the minimum fee of the transfer date. The share per party is the fee that the buyer and the seller each pay, at least the minimum fee (411.60 TRY in 2026). The total title deed fee is the two shares together, 40 per mille of the base. The value found from a fee is the base the fee was charged on: the declared sale price, or the property tax value when that was higher.

Worked example

The worked example on this page shows a home sold for 5,000,000 TRY. No property tax value is entered, and the buyer and the seller each pay their share. The steps give the fee base, the share per party and the total fee.

Limits

The calculator covers the title deed fee on a sale only. The land registry’s revolving fund service fee, capital gains tax, the agent’s commission and loan costs are not included. Gifts, mortgages and inheritance have other fees. If the declared price does not reflect the real one, the missing fee can be charged later (Fees Law art. 63). Fee amounts are rounded to the kuruş. A fee at the minimum gives no declared value, as any price up to the minimum fee / rate gives it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the title deed fee rate in Türkiye?

20 per mille (2%) of the declared value from the buyer and 20 per mille from the seller, 4% in total. The rate is in item 20/a of tariff (4) of Fees Law no. 492 and applies since 22 Sep 2012. Each party pays at least the minimum fee, 411.60 TRY in 2026.

Who pays the title deed fee?

By law the buyer and the seller each pay their share. The parties may agree that one of them pays the whole fee; the calculator shows that split too.

Can the declared price be below the property tax value?

No. The fee base cannot be below the property tax value set by the municipality (Fees Law art. 63). The calculator uses the higher of the two.

Was the title deed fee rate always 2%?

No. It was 1.5% per party in 2005–2009 (0.5% from 29 Mar to 30 Jun 2009) and 1.65% from 2010 to 21 Sep 2012. Homes and workplaces paid 1.5% from 15 Mar to 30 Sep 2017 and from 5 May 2018 to 31 Dec 2019. Enter the transfer date and the calculator uses the rate of that day.

How do I find the sale price from the fee paid?

Divide the total title deed fee by 40 per mille: fee base = total fee × 1000 / 40. A total fee of 200,000 TRY, for example, was charged on a base of 5,000,000 TRY. Choose “Declared value from the fee” in the calculator.

Is the land registry service fee included?

No. The land registry's revolving fund service fee (döner sermaye) is charged on top and depends on the region. The calculator does not include it.

Calculation rules

  • Fees Law no. 492, tariff (4), item 20/a: on a sale, the same rate of the declared value is charged to the buyer and to the seller. The rate is 20 per mille since 22 Sep 2012 (40 per mille in total); 15 per mille in 2005–2009 (5 per mille from 29 Mar to 30 Jun 2009) and 16.5 per mille from 2010 to 21 Sep 2012. Homes and workplaces paid 15 per mille from 15 Mar to 30 Sep 2017 and from 5 May 2018 to 31 Dec 2019.
  • Fees Law art. 63: the declared value cannot be below the property tax value, and fractions of the base under 10 TRY are dropped. If you enter the property tax value, the calculator uses the higher of the two as the base.
  • Each party pays at least the minimum fee at the end of the tariff: 411.60 TRY in 2026 (Fees Law General Communiqué no. 98). The amount rises each year by the revaluation rate.
  • The parties may agree who pays; the calculator shows the split you choose.
  • Value from the fee: fee base = total fee / (2 × rate), fractions under 10 TRY dropped. The result is the base the fee was charged on: the declared sale price, or the property tax value when that was higher. A fee at the minimum gives no value.
  • The land registry’s revolving fund service fee (döner sermaye) depends on the region and is not included.
  • Fee amounts are rounded to the kuruş.
