The tax rate varies depending on the state: • Lowest rate: Bavaria 3.5% • Highest rate: Brandenburg, North Rhine-Westphalia, Saarland, Schleswig-Holstein 6.5% • The tax is calculated on the purchase price (excluding inventory) • Due approximately 2-6 weeks after the notary appointment • Without payment: no property registration in the land register! Tip: Inventory (kitchen, sauna, awning) can be listed separately in the purchase agreement and reduces the tax burden.
