What are notary fees in Andorra when buying property?
- Updated on

The short answer
Andorran notary fees are governed by the notary law (Llei 11/2017) and depend on the price and the deed; the notary also collects taxes linked to the sale. No simple official tariff could be confirmed: ask for an estimated statement before the preliminary contract.
What makes up notary fees?
| Item | Nature |
|---|---|
| Notary's fees | Payment for the deed, according to the tariff in force and its complexity |
| Registration duties | Costs linked to the authentication and recording of the deed |
| Taxes collected | The notary collects and passes on certain taxes: property transfer, IGI for a new home, capital gain, foreign investment tax |
The foreign investment tax (6 %verified on 09/10/2026 for a first property) is not a notary fee: it is paid before signing and the notary requires proof of it.
What order of magnitude?
French advisers cite a range of roughly 0.5 to 1.5% of the price for the notary and registration combined. This is not an official tariff: we could not confirm the scale from a published text.
How to find out the exact amount
- Ask the notary for an estimated statement in writing before the preliminary contract.
- Check what is included (fees, registration, taxes collected).
- Compare with the other costs: see purchase costs.
What we can say, and what we do not quantify
The Andorran notary authorises the public deed of sale, collects the taxes due (transfer tax of 4 %verified on 09/10/2026, of which 1 %verified on 09/10/2026 for the State and 3 %verified on 09/10/2026 for the Comú, and non-resident tax of 6 %verified on 09/10/2026 on the first property where applicable) and records the deed. Its fees and the registration duties follow a tariff; we do not publish a percentage for lack of an up-to-date official source, and we ask for a written quote.
How to compare
- Ask for a detailed quote before the promise to sell.
- Separate the taxes collected from the fees.
- Check who bears the cost: practice and the deed determine who pays.
Key takeaways
