The Municipality of Bombinhas confirmed that it will reduce the ITBI (Real Estate Transfer Tax) rate from 3% to 2% as of Saturday, October 4, 2025.
The announcement came out on the official website of the municipality and marks an important change for those who plan to acquire or regularize a property in the city. The tax is levied on every transfer of real estate and, therefore, directly affects the final cost of the purchase.
In addition, the new rule seeks to encourage the formalization of deeds and encourage new acquisitions. In this way, the municipality creates more favorable conditions for residents and investors and strengthens the movement of appreciation of the local real estate market, which has already been growing continuously in recent years.
What it is and how it works
The ITBI is a municipal tax that is levied whenever the transfer of ownership occurs. In other words, the tax applies at the time the property changes ownership. The buyer must pay it before registering the deed in a notary’s office. In this sense, the calculation considers the sale value or the market value, applying the current rate.
Impact and timing of the property tax reduction
- Savings: in a transaction of R$ 600 thousand, the value of the tax goes from R$ 18 thousand to R$ 12 thousand, which represents a saving of R$ 6 thousand. The higher the value of the property, the greater the direct benefit for the buyer.
- Deadline: the City Hall made it clear that the reduction is temporary. Therefore, those who want to take advantage of it should plan ahead to guarantee the discount before the end of the measure.
- Impact on the market: in addition to benefiting buyers, the change encourages regularizations, accelerates ongoing negotiations and strengthens the local real estate market, expanding the volume of investments in the city.
How much you can save
The reduction of the tax has a direct impact on the buyer’s pocket. Check below how the change from 3% to 2% changes the tax amount in different real estate ranges:
| Property value | ITBI at 3% | ITBI at 2% | Economy |
|---|---|---|---|
| R$ 400.000 | R$ 12.000 | R$ 8.000 | R$ 4.000 |
| R$ 600.000 | R$ 18.000 | R$ 12.000 | R$ 6.000 |
| R$ 800.000 | R$ 24.000 | R$ 16.000 | R$ 8.000 |
| R$ 1.200.000 | R$ 36.000 | R$ 24.000 | R$ 12.000 |
With these numbers, it is clear that the reduction offers savings proportional to the value of the property. In this way, the buyer can better plan costs and make investment decisions more safely.
