Asset revaluation, what is the procedure to be followed? - The law enters into

From January 22 to December 31, 2026, all individuals who own real estate will have the opportunity to revalue this property at market value by paying a tax rate of 5%.

The Law "On the Revaluation of Immovable Property" has been published in the Official Gazette and officially enters into force on January 22, and 500 thousand families are expected to directly benefit from this initiative. 

Referring to the law, requests for revaluation submitted to the State Cadastre Agency for which tax payments have been made, but administrative procedures have not been completed by the ASA by December 31, 2026, are considered subject to revaluation under this law and administrative procedures are completed by March 31, 2027.

But what are the procedures that citizens must follow for the reassessment?

The revaluation can be carried out by a licensed real estate valuation expert from the relevant institutions or from the local directorates of the State Cadastre Agency.

If the individual decides to carry out the revaluation at market value, then he chooses a licensed expert. He also attaches the expert's valuation act to his application for revaluation of the immovable property. In this case, the local directorates of the State Cadastre Agency calculate: the taxable base, which is calculated as the difference between the value reflected in the expert's valuation act, which cannot be less than the fiscal prices in force at the time of the revaluation, and the registered value of the property or the revalued value, according to the previous revaluation laws, for which the tax was paid, as well as the tax that the individual must pay to register this revaluation.

If the individual decides that the revaluation should be carried out at the minimum fiscal prices in force, then he applies to the State Cadastre Agency and this fact is expressed in the form attached to his application for revaluation. In this case, the local directorates of the State Cadastre Agency calculate: the taxable base, which is calculated as the difference between the value resulting from the revaluation at the fiscal prices in force at the time of the revaluation and the registered value of the property or the revalued value for which the tax was paid.

In cases of transfer of ownership rights over immovable property, pursuant to the legislation in force on income tax, made after revaluation, the tax is calculated according to the rates in force on the profit realized, as the difference between the value, at the moment of transfer of ownership rights, and the revalued value for which the tax was paid.

The law also gives legal entities, which have real estate assets registered in their financial statements with a value lower than the market value, the right to revalue these assets at the market value by December 31, 2026.
