250 USD is the quote my neighbors received for a plot of land selling @ 3.500 USD.
Transfer of title
The Land Office will not complete the transfer till they see the receipt certifying payment of the transfer tax and land office fees.
Though the registration fee is officially 4%, this amount is in practice never levied. Each cadastral office calculates a certain amount in obscure ways, usually amounting to around 1.5%-2%. Normally, the cadastral officers will write a transaction price on the contract which is different to the real price.
“In only two case have I ever seen the 4% paid,” says a local realtor. “One was a World Bank transaction; the other was a German who wanted to report the real price to his company.”
In addition to the 4% (in practice 1.5% – 2%):
There is US$800-US$1000 ‘service fee’ (now up to @$2k), paid to the cadastral office, which covers all other ‘service fees’.
A tax is payable according to the absolute size of the land and building, according to type – commercial, residential, or rural.
On sale, there is an unused land tax, calculated by the cadastral officer.
