Closing-Cost Estimator
What it costs to close a simple apartment purchase in Medellín (Antioquia): notary, departmental registration tax, registry fees, and the seller's withholding — itemized per side at verified 2026 rates.
Modeled for individuals on both sides. If the buyer is a company, the seller's withholding is 2.5% under art. 401 E.T. and it isn't collected by the notary — not modeled here.
Who pays what is custom, not law: notarial fees are customarily split 50/50, the buyer assumes rentas and registration, and the seller carries the withholding. Every line is negotiable in the promesa.
Small fixed notarial charges apply per document. Additional acts in the same escritura are each liquidated separately.
Estimate — exact figures depend on the notaría, the avalúo catastral (the legal floor for the taxable base), and what the parties negotiate. Rates verified against the 2026 tariff resolutions; this is not tax or legal advice.
Rate basis: SNR notarial tariff 2026 (Res. 000964, Feb 2026) · SNR registral tariff 2026 (Res. 0017266, Feb 2026) · Gobernación de Antioquia, impuesto de registro (Ord. 41/2020) · DIAN, art. 398 E.T. Verified 2026-07-19.
Closing costs run near 3% of the price. The price is the number worth checking. Paste any Medellín listing and we'll show where it sits against its barrio's calibrated range — free.
