Registration Fees for Buying and Selling Properties in Nepal
The municipal charge for registration fees for buying and selling properties in Nepal varies from one municipality to another municipality, be it an urban or rural municipality. The various rates are provided in the following table
If the property is in the municipal area
| Worth of property (NPR) | Registration fee (NPR) |
| Below 10,000 | 400 |
| 10,000-25,000 | 1000 |
| Above 25,000 | 4.5% of the total worth |
If the property is in the rural municipality
| Worth of property (NPR) | Registration fee (NPR) |
| Below 10,000 | 300 |
| 10,000-25,000 | 500 |
| Above 25,000 | 2% of the total worth |
However, the charge is different for apartments and group housing. For apartments, you are required to pay 1% of the total worth of the property, be it in municipality or rural municipality; you get 50% concession on any unit above five stories.
If your property is a unit of group housing, you are required to pay 2% of the total worth of the property, be it in the municipality or rural municipal area. Similarly, if your property is adjacent to Kathmandu, or inside Kathmandu, you have to pay a 5% extra charge for Bagmati Savyata Kosh.
If women own the property, 25% concession is available for property in the municipal area, and 30% concession is available for property in the rural municipality area.
The registration fee for property in Kathmandu = registration charge + 5% of the total worth of property (Bagmati Savyata Kosh)
| Type of property | Registration charge |
| Apartments | 1% of total worth (50% off in each unit above five5 stories) |
| Building in group housing | 2% of the total worth of property |
