Good to know

How notary fees are calculated

1. Registration duties (the largest share)

They are collected by the State and local authorities. For an existing property, they represent about 6.32% of the price (article 1594 D of the French General Tax Code, departmental duty raised to 5.00% by the 2025 Finance Act). For a new-build VEFA property, the duties are reduced to 0.71498% because the 20% VAT has already been paid by the developer.

2. Notary emoluments (their remuneration)

A regulated rate, regressive by bracket per article A. 444-91 of the French Commercial Code (schedule in force). Above 60 000 €, the rate drops to 0.799% before tax. A notary may grant a discount, capped at 20% of the emolument calculated on the portion of the price at or above 100 000 €, provided its rate is fixed and identical for all clients (articles L. 444-2 and A. 444-174 of the French Commercial Code). The amount shown here is an estimate.

3. Disbursements and formalities (~0.5%)

Costs advanced by the notary on your behalf: cadastral extracts, a copy of the condominium bylaws, land registration, urban planning requests. These costs are re-invoiced to the exact euro.
