≈ +3.5% over the price. ITBI runs 2–3% by municipality (3% in São Paulo) plus ≈1% registration and notary fees. Foreigners buy urban property freely; rural land needs alignment with size/usage rules. The matrícula (property’s registry file) is the title — your lawyer reads the chain of averbações (endorsements) for liens and marriage claims.

Rentals run on rules

The rent side, in three lines

  • Deposits run one to three months (caução), often the fifteenth rent.
  • Leases run 30 months (residential) to avoid reversion-to-locator rules.
  • The fiador (guarantor) system is fading — seguro-fiança (rental insurance) is the modern path.

São Paulo and Rio price off finance-city wages; Curitiba and Belo Horizonte follow at a discount.

Foreign buyers need a CPF (tax ID) and a Brazilian bank account. There are no nationality restrictions on urban residential property, though border areas and rural land require additional authorization.

ITBI varies by municipality: São Paulo charges 3%, Rio 2%. The notary fees are regulated and modest. The real cost differential is in the condominium regime and the building's reserve fund.
