Türkiye’s state housing agency TOKİ is auctioning 725 plots in 61 provinces, including Ankara, İstanbul and İzmir, on 5 and 6 November. The total reserve value is 29,146,300,000 lira, an average of 40,201,793 lira a plot. Buyer and seller each pay a title deed fee of 2%, 4% in total.
What is the title deed fee on a plot in 2026?
The title deed fee is 20 per thousand — 2% — of the declared sale price, and each side pays its own 2%. The rate did not change for 2026. What changed is the minimum fee one party pays: 411.60 lira in 2026, up from 346.10 lira last year, a rise of 18.9%. That minimum is updated each year by a general communiqué.

Who pays the title deed fee, and on what amount?
Buyer and seller pay their own share separately; if they agree, one side can take on both shares.
The fee is charged on the higher of the declared sale price and the property tax value. If the declared price is lower, the tax value becomes the base.
The land registry’s revolving fund fee is not part of the title deed fee, and the annual property tax is outside this calculation.
Example: what would the fee be on a plot?
For example, on a plot bought for 3 million lira the buyer pays 60,000 lira and the seller 60,000 lira, 120,000 lira in total. The calculation assumes the declared price is above the property tax value and that each side pays its own share. The table shows the shares at three example sale prices.
| Sale price (lira) | Buyer’s share (lira) | Seller’s share (lira) | Total fee (lira) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2,000,000 | 40,000 | 40,000 | 80,000 |
| 5,000,000 | 100,000 | 100,000 | 200,000 |
| 10,000,000 | 200,000 | 200,000 | 400,000 |
Example: title deed fee shares at three sale prices (buyer and seller each pay their own share)
