What is property tax, and who pays it?
Every building, plot and piece of land in Türkiye carries an annual tax. The owner pays it, or the usufruct holder where there is one. It goes to the municipality, with a 10% cultural heritage levy on top. Many calculators leave the levy out, yet it is part of what you pay.
The base is the tax value, not the market price. So the tax on two homes in one complex can differ by much more or much less than their sale prices do.
2026 property tax rates
The rates did not change in 2026. Inside metropolitan cities they are double those elsewhere.
| Property | Metropolitan cities | Elsewhere |
|---|---|---|
| Home | 0.2% | 0.1% |
| Commercial | 0.4% | 0.2% |
| Building plot | 0.6% | 0.3% |
| Farmland | 0.2% | 0.1% |
The 30 metropolitan provinces: Adana, Ankara, Antalya, Aydın, Balıkesir, Bursa, Denizli, Diyarbakır, Erzurum, Eskişehir, Gaziantep, Hatay, Istanbul, Izmir, Kahramanmaraş, Kayseri, Kocaeli, Konya, Malatya, Manisa, Mardin, Mersin, Muğla, Ordu, Sakarya, Samsun, Şanlıurfa, Tekirdağ, Trabzon and Van.
Why did my tax value rise so sharply?
Land unit values are reset every four years, and the latest reset took effect in 2026. Law 7566 capped the jump: a 2026 value cannot exceed the 2025 value by more than twice that value, which makes three times the old figure at most. A home valued at 1,000,000 TL last year is valued at no more than 3,000,000 TL in 2026.
From 2027 the value will rise each year by the full revaluation rate. Until now it rose by half of it.
Valuable housing tax 2026
A separate annual tax on homes whose building tax value exceeds ₺17,711,000. The bands below apply to the part above that line. Here too the measure is tax value, not sale price, so a home with a far higher market price can stay under it.
| Building tax value | Rate | Tax on earlier bands |
|---|---|---|
| Up to ₺26,567,000 | 0.3% | — |
| Up to ₺35,425,000 | 0.6% | ₺26,568 |
| Above ₺35,425,000 | 1% | ₺79,716 |
An owner whose only home in Türkiye is above the threshold is exempt. With several, the cheapest stays exempt. In shared ownership the band follows the whole home's value and the tax is split by share. The 2027 figures have not been announced yet.
Two worked examples
A home in Bodrum, under the threshold
A home with a tax value of ₺12,000,000 in a metropolitan province pays 0.2%. Property tax ₺24,000, levy ₺2,400, total ₺26,400, in two equal instalments of ₺13,200. No valuable housing tax is due.
A second home in Istanbul, above the threshold
The owner of a home with a tax value of ₺30,000,000 also owns a cheaper home above the threshold. The municipality receives ₺66,000: ₺60,000 property tax and ₺6,000 levy. The tax office receives ₺47,166 valuable housing tax.
Who pays at the zero rate?
These people pay no property tax if their only home in Türkiye, or their usufruct over it, is at most 200 m² gross:
- Disabled people
- People whose only income is a retirement, widow's, orphan's, survivor's or disability pension
- People who document having no income, other than dependants under 18
- Veterans
- Widows and orphans of those killed in service
Meeting the conditions is not enough; you have to apply to the municipality. If the home is rented out or you have other income, ask the municipality first.
When and where do you pay?
1st instalment: March–May
The first half of the property tax. 31 May 2026 was a Sunday, so this year's deadline was 1 June.
2nd instalment: November
The other half. The 2026 deadline is 30 November. Late payment carries a surcharge.
Valuable housing: February
The return goes to the tax office by 20 February, and the first instalment is due by the end of the month.
Valuable housing: August
The second instalment is due by the end of August.
Foreign owners
The law sets no separate rate for foreign owners: the sum is the same, and the tax goes to the municipality where the property is. The only-home exemption in valuable housing tax counts homes in Türkiye. If you live abroad, check the municipality's online payment channel, or leave the payment with someone you trust in Türkiye, so the deadline is not missed.
Frequently asked
Questions about property tax in Türkiye
How much is property tax in Türkiye?
For a home, 0.2% of the tax value in a metropolitan city and 0.1% elsewhere, plus a 10% levy on the tax. A home with a tax value of 10,000,000 TL in a metropolitan city pays 22,000 TL a year.
When is the second instalment due?
By the end of November. For 2026 the last day is Monday 30 November.
Where do I find my property tax value?
On your municipality's online debt enquiry page, on your tax notice, or on a tax value certificate from the municipality.
Who pays valuable housing tax?
Owners of homes whose building tax value exceeds 17,711,000 TL in 2026. An owner's only home above that line is exempt, as is the cheapest of several.
I own one home in Türkiye. Do I pay valuable housing tax?
No. If it is your only home in Türkiye, you are exempt whatever its value.
Does a pensioner with rental income pay property tax?
The zero rate is for people whose only income is the pension. Whether another income ends it depends on the type of income, so confirm with your municipality.
I sold during the year. Who pays that year's tax?
The seller pays for the year of the sale. The buyer becomes liable from the following year.
Why might my figure differ from the municipality's?
The calculator uses the value you enter. The municipality's recorded value, or special cases such as restricted land or rural neighbourhood relief, can change the result. The municipality's assessment decides.
