The title deed (Tapu) is your official ownership document — legal proof of ownership issued by the Land Registry. Here is a clear, transparent breakdown of the fees involved; no hidden surprises.
Main Fee: Title Transfer Fee
The title transfer fee is 4% of the declared sale value. By law it is 2% buyer, 2% seller ; but in practice who pays how much is often a matter of negotiation — in many transactions the buyer pays more or all of it (4%).
Other Costs

After You Own It
Once the title deed is in your name, the only regular cost is the annual property tax — 0.2% of the municipal tax value in metropolitan areas such as Antalya (including Alanya), and 0.1% elsewhere.
