What costs to add to the price of an apartment
Buying an apartment for $198,000 (1,000,000 reais) in Curitiba costs up to $7,330 (37,000 reais) more, which is up to 3.7% of the price.
| Payment | Apartment for $198,000 | Share of price |
|---|---|---|
| Property transfer tax, city rate 2.7% | $5,350 (27,000 reais) | 2.7% |
| Notarial deed of sale and entry in the property registry | up to $1,980 (10,000 reais) | up to 1% |
| Total on top of the price | up to $7,330 (37,000 reais) | up to 3.7% |
Data for 2026: the tax rate is from the city of Curitiba, notary and registry fees from the Paraná state tables; the amount grows with the price of the apartment. The tax is charged on the higher of two amounts: the deal price or the city's valuation. A sworn translation of documents and a taxpayer number are also needed; the agent's commission is paid by the seller under the contract. A manager will work out the costs for a specific apartment.
In Curitiba the apartment is checked in the registry before the deposit
Mistakes cost more than the tax: debts on property tax and condominium fees pass to the new owner, a lawsuit against the seller can challenge the deal, and money not registered with the Central Bank will not count towards residence. Murblz support removes these risks: we find an apartment, check the registry extract and the seller, prepare the deal at the notary and arrange investor residence.
The cost of support depends on the budget and the goal of the purchase; a manager will calculate it in the chat.
Residence through buying an apartment
A purchase from $198,000 (1,000,000 reais) gives investor residence. The Ministry of Justice of Brazil grants it under Resolution No. 36/2018 of the National Immigration Council to those who bought urban property with their own money transferred from abroad. Curitiba is in the south of the country, so the threshold is 1,000,000 reais; the reduced threshold of 700,000 reais applies only in the north and north-east. Both ready and off-plan apartments qualify, and the amount can be reached with several purchases.
Residence is granted for 4 years and then made permanent if you spend at least 14 days in Brazil in every two years. The money arrives by bank transfer from abroad with registration at the Central Bank: a purchase with money already in Brazil does not count. Of the apartments above, the Ecoville apartment for $216,000 and the 216 m² Batel apartment for $315,000 pass the threshold. Other routes are on the page Brazil residence permit: all routes.
