What Are Registration Fees?
We often pay for registration fees when we do title transfers. Actually, it is paid for the registration of all of the following:
- A deed of sale, conveyance, transfer, exchange, partition, or donation;
- A deed of sale with pacto de retro, conditional sale, sheriff’s sale at public auction, sale for nonpayment of taxes, or any sale subject to redemption, or the repurchase or redemption of the property so sold;
- Any instrument, order, judgement or decree divesting the title of the registered owner, except in favor of a trustee, executor, administrator, or receiver;
- Option to purchase or promise to sell;
- Any mortgage, surety, bond, lease, easement, right-of-way, or other real right or lien created or constituted by virtue of a district contract or agreement, and not as an incidental condition of sale, transfer or conveyance; and
- The assignment, enlargement, extension or novation of mortgage or of any other real right, or release or mortgage, termination of lease, or consolidation of ownership over a property sold with pacto de retro.
Where to pay
Registration fees are paid to the Register of Deeds or Land Registration Authority (LRA) where the real property is located.
When to pay
This is paid after the taxes on the sale of the property have been paid and the Certificate Authorizing Registration (CAR) and Tax Clearance (TCL) has been secured from the Bureau of Internal Revenue.
Take note that a CAR and TCL, once issued, should be presented to the Register of Deeds within two (2) years from issuance, otherwise it shall be deemed to have no effect and you will need to request for the issuance of a new CAR, following the requirements of Revenue Memorandum Order (RMO) No. 23-2010 dated March 15, 2010.
How to compute for the registration fee
To compute for the registration fee, you may refer to the LRA registration fee table, if the selling price does not exceed P1,700.00.00
If the selling price exceeds P1,700,000.00, You need to add P90 for every P20,000.00 or fraction thereof; In excess of P1,700,000.00, in addition to the fee of 8,796.00.
Sample computations
1. With selling price not exceeding P1,700,000.00. What is the registration fee if the selling price is P1,000,000.00?
If the selling price is 1,000,000.00, the registration fee would be P5,546, based on the Registration Fee table.
2. With selling price exceeding P1,700,000.00. What is the registration fee if the selling price is P2,000,000.00?
Since the selling price is greater than 1,700,000.00, we need to add P90.00 for everyP20,000.00 or fraction thereof; in excess of P1,700,000.00, in addition to the fee of 8,796.00
Registration Fee = ((P2,000,000.00 – P1,700,000.00)/P20,000.00)xP90.00 + P8,796.00
=P10,146.00
LRA Requirements for transfer of title
Payment for registration fee is required when you transfer a title and you need to bring all the other requirements:
- Owner’s duplicate copy of the Transfer Certificate of Title (TCT) or Condominium Certificate of Title (CCT)
- Deed Of Absolute Sale
- Certificate Authorizing Registration or CAR
- Tax clearance from the Office of the City/Municipal Treasurer’s office or assessor’s office
- Transfer Tax Receipt and other supporting documents (In Quezon City for example, you also need to bring a Certification that transfer tax has been paid, and it has to have a security seal)
- If the property is a condominium unit, you also need to submit a Certificate Of Management.
- If you are If you are transacting on behalf of the owner, bring an authorization letter duly signed by the owner (if you have a notarized Special Power of Attorney (SPA), much better), plus a photocopy of the owner’s valid government-issued ID
- Certified true copy of the Secretary’s certificate if the seller is a corporation
Other Taxes and transfer fees to consider
For a real estate transaction, there are a lot of taxes and fees to consider.
Usually, only the Capital Gains Tax (CGT) or Creditable Withholding Tax (CWT) are for the account of the seller (whichever is applicable).
You also need to check if Value Added Tax (VAT) is applicable.
The Documentary Stamps Tax (DST) on the sale of real property, Transfer Tax, registration fees, Information Technology (I.T.) fees, and all other expenses required to transfer the property from the name of the seller to the buyer are for the account of the buyer.
In order to avoid surprises, I suggest that you request for a computation of the expenses which are for the buyer’s account from your real estate broker (if you have one), or from the seller, including registration fees.
Transfer Tax is another fee you need to know, which is paid to the Local Government Unit (LGU) where the property is located.
You should also check if Business Tax is applicable to the city where the property is located. For example, Quezon City and Las Pinas are cities that have business tax.
Who should pay for the LRA registration fee?
While the major taxes like CGT, CWT, and VAT are shouldered by the seller, all the rest (including the registration fee) are shouldered by the buyer.
However, it really depends on what is currently in place and/or what all parties have agreed upon. For example, all taxes and fees are shouldered by the buyer when buying foreclosed properties from Unionbank.

Hello Atty Jay and Atty Cherry! This is my first time to browse your site. I was very amazed with both of your credentials, wow! Lawyer na, CPA pa, REB and REA pa… Amazing!!! If I may seek lang po some queries since Im a newbie as REB and REA having passed the board recently, last April and Aug 2024, respectively. .. MY question is about donation of parents to her children of their property which is classified as Industrial per Tax Dec. Would this transfer be subjected to VAT aside sa CGT? Many thanks in advance for your answer. God bless po.
Hello po,
Tanong ko lang po, if yung property binili under companies name , not engaged on real estate business, may vat po ba pag binenta? if ever, ano pong bir form ang gagamitin?
Good day,
Sir/mam, magkano Po kaya Ang babayaran ko sa registration o pag lipat Ng name ko sa nabiling lupa.
Selling price -17 k
Cgt 54k
Dst 13k , fair market value 847 k
Transfer tax 6 k
Tnx
Hi po, if donation po ano po ba basehan ng tax sa ROD?
Hi Johna, ang tanong niyo po ba ay kung ano ang basehan ng Registration Fee pag donation of real estate? Since walang selling price ang Deed of Donation, posibleng Fair Market Value (yung nasa tax declaration) or Zonal Value ng BIR, whichever is higher. Itatanong ko rin si misis para sure. Pwede din kayo magpa-assess sa ROD para sure.
good day, thank you for this article, medyo naliwanagan ako sa process.
question lang po, nabayaran na namin ung inheritance tax, pati dun sa city hall/registration of deeds, pero di daw matransfer yung title since may kaibahan ng konti sa apelyido ni mama, uncle and ng sister nila.
Pero meron naman na kaming documents na nagpapatunay na c mama & uncle yung heirs ni tita. sabi nung sa city hall need daw namin iraise sa korte and kumuha ng private lawyer.
Hi Marie, yes, as far as I know if may discrepancy sa names, kailangan talaga dumaan sa korte.
Hi, thank you for this very useful article. If I am simply transferring my mortgage from Bank A to Bank B, do I have to pay registration fees for the annotation of mortgage? And does it follow the fee schedule above? e.g. PHP10M loan = PHP46K reg fee?
HI Mateo, thanks for the kind words.
With regard to transferring a mortgage, this is all I can find in LRA’s schedule of fees under Section C.16:
“16. Registration fee – For the registration of a deed of sale, conveyance, transfer, exchange, partition, or donation: a deed of sale with pacto de retro, conditional sale, sheriff’s sale at public auction, sale for non-payment of taxes, or any sale subject to redemption, or the repurchase or redemption of the property so sold: any instrument, order, judgement or decree divesting the title of the registered owner, except in favor of a trustee, executor, administrator, or receiver: option to purchase or promise to sell: any mortgage, surety, bond, lease, easement, right-of-way, or other real right or lien created or constituted by virtue of a district contract or agreement, and not as an incidental condition of sale, transfer or conveyance: the assignment, enlargement, extension or novation of mortgage or of any other real right, or release or mortgage, termination of lease, or consolidation of ownership over a property sold with pacto de retro: where no specific fee is prescribed therefore in preceding paragraphs, the fees shall be based on the value of the consideration in accordance with the following schedule”.
It seems it is an exception but due to the excessively long paragraph, it is hard to be 100% sure.
If applicable, and if the selling price is Php10m, the Reg Fee is Php46,146.00
Again, since there is technically no sale and you will remain as the registered owner when you transfer the mortgage, it appears to be an exception in your case (“divesting the title of the registered owner” will not happen), based on Section C.16. My suggestion is to confirm by getting an assessment from the LRA/RD office that covers the location of your property.
Hi Atty.
Greetings!
With regards to the registration fee and transfer tax are the above the latest/percentage/computation?
Thank you
Hi Ms. Josie, I’ll answer on behalf of my wife Cherry. I just checked and the Fees Schedule on LRA’s website is still the same. I have also added a “References” section above so you can easily verify our source, which in this case is the file https://www.lra.gov.ph/images/PDF_Files/lrafeeschedule1.pdf as posted on the following page on LRA’s website: https://www.lra.gov.ph/services/fees.html
Hi Panyera!
Just wanted to ask this: what if the instrument was an Extrajudicial Settlement of Estate, how should we compute the registration fees or processing fees? 🙂
Thank you!
Hi! I just want to commend you po for this post and for answering the questions in detail. God bless!
Thank you Karla for the kind words, much appreciated! Thanks for dropping by and God bless you too!
Good day! Magkano po ang babayaran kung ang property ay may existing mortgage? Condo property po ito.
Good day Malou, kahit may existing mortgage, yung selling price na nasa deed of sale pa rin ang basis ng registration fee. Check niyo sa table sa taas kung magkano ang registyration fee depende sa selling price.
Magkano po LRA Registration fees kapa subdivision po ng lupa thru Donation?
Sample po is 1 titile-100sqm Area hahatiin po sa 4 tig 25sqm. bale magiging 4 na title sya.
Market Value po is 396,920.
magkano po kaya aabutin ang Registration fee and IT Fees.
TIA
Hi L.A., if assume natin na yung market value ay i-divide na rin natin by 4, magiging Php99,230 ang market value/selling price per title. Based sa table, bale Php996 ang registration fee per title, so multiply by 4 = Php3,984 and total registration fees. Yung IT fees assume natin na 3,000 isa, so bale Php12,000.
Suggestion ko, pasyal kayo sa RD para magpa-assess para mas sigurado ang estimate ng registration fees at IT fees.

Sori po..n abot po ng bata ang keypad…pasenya na po..
Okay lang po, no worries. 🙂
Kung nasa 600,000 po ang bili namin sa lote nasa magkano po ang registration fee po.
Hi Ms. Lerma, based po sa Registration Fee Table, nasa Php3,846.00
Good day! I would like to ask if its ok to have a lawyer notarized the documents holds office from another city or area of the where the parcel of land is located? Thank you!
Hi Katherine, I believe this is not required. For example, I just checked our Deed of absolute sale for a property we purchased in Quezon City, and it was notarized by a notary public that holds office in Makati.
nakabili po kami ng lot worth 68k. magkano po ba dapat ang babayaran nun?
Hi Jake, based sa table, Php744 ang registration fee. Pwede rin kayo magpa-assess before magbayad.
Hi! What if the Deed of Sale was made 30 years ago but is about to be registered this year, would there be a penalty? How could we compute for the penalty? Thank you in advance.
Were the taxes paid?
Hi! Before the Deed of Sale was made, taxes were paid. After the sale, taxes are not yet paid. Thank you in advance.
Hi Lance, if you are referrring to Real Property Tax or Amilyar, malaki na ang penalty if 30 years unpaid, and baka nga na auction na yan sa tax delinquent property auction. Pwede mo check sa City Treasurers office.
Kung notarized yung Deed of Sale, kailangan na rin bayaran ang Capital Gains Tax (CGT), Documentary stamps Tax (DST), Transfer Tax, etc. Notarized na po ba yung deed of sale? If yes, 30 years ago po ba? Anlaki na po ng penalty nun. Para may idea po kayo, eto penalties for late payment ng CGT:
Iba pa po ang penalty for the other taxes (DST, Transfer Tax, etc.)
