Frequently asked questions
When you buy a property in Senegal, the buyer pays costs on top of the price: registration tax, land-registry fees and notary fees. For the resale of a titled property, expect roughly 7–12% of the price.
- What are the notary fees in Senegal?
- Notary fees follow a sliding scale by bracket (Décret 2006-1366, art. 150): 4.5% up to 20 million FCFA, 3% from 20 to 80 million, 1.5% from 80 to 300 million and 0.75% above that, plus 18% VAT on those fees.
- How much is the registration tax?
- The registration tax on a property sale is 5% of the price (General Tax Code, art. 472), payable by the buyer. The rate was cut from 10% to 5% in 2015 and has remained unchanged since.
- What total budget should I plan on top of the price?
- For the resale of a titled property, expect roughly 7–12% of the price (≈ 8% on average): 5% registration tax, around 1% land-registry fee, the notary fees and VAT. The calculator above breaks down each line based on your price.
- Who pays the capital-gains tax?
- The capital-gains tax on property is owed by the seller, not the buyer. The buyer bears the registration tax, the land-registry fee and the notary fees.
