The property tax is considered one of the important items that must be taken into account before purchasing real estate, as it is a substantial payment. It amounts to 2% of the property price, imposed by the state on both the seller and the buyer. Although there is no clear and explicit provision in this context, usually the expenses are borne by the buyer, meaning the buyer pays 4% of the total property value as a registration fee. Therefore, it is essential to consider this amount and agree in advance between the parties on how to pay the property tax clearly between the seller and the buyer. It is also necessary to specify the commission that the intermediary will receive, in addition to the expenses incurred when paying the property sale fees if there is an intermediary between the seller and the buyer.
