Apartments in Burgas are let all year round to port and industrial zone staff, doctors and university students, and in summer to tourists by the beaches of the centre and Sarafovo. Rental income is taxed at 10%, and a non-resident pays it on Bulgarian rent, while the annual property tax in Burgas is 0.22% of the tax assessment, plus a waste collection fee.
In 2023 Russia suspended the main articles of its double taxation agreement with Bulgaria, so the tax on rent is paid in Bulgaria. Rates and examples are on the page Bulgaria taxes.
What costs to add to the price of an apartment
Buying an apartment for $236,000 (210,000 euros) in Burgas costs another $8,260 (7,350 euros), which is 3.5% of the price. The main payment is the Burgas Municipality local tax of 3% of the higher of two amounts, the price or the tax assessment.
| Payment | Apartment for $236,000 (210,000 euros) | Share of price |
|---|---|---|
| Local acquisition tax, 3% | $7,080 (6,300 euros) | 3% |
| Notary by tariff, with 20% VAT | $950 (840 euros) | 0.4% |
| Entry in the Property Register, 0.1% | $240 (210 euros) | 0.1% |
| Sworn translator at the notary | if the buyer does not speak Bulgarian | by the translator's rate |
| Total on top of the price | $8,260 (7,350 euros) | 3.5% |
Data for 2026: the local tax and the property tax are set by Burgas Municipal Council decisions, the notary fee follows the euro tariff with a cap of 3,068 euros before VAT, and the entry fee follows the Registry Agency tariff. A manager will calculate the costs for a specific apartment.
In Burgas the apartment is checked before the deposit
Mistakes cost more than the tax: an apartment registered as a studio or an office instead of a dwelling, a building without an occupancy permit, a building maintenance fee nobody mentioned before the deal, a mortgage or a seizure on the seller's property, debts on taxes and utility bills, or a share of land that cannot be registered in the name of a non-EU citizen. Murblz support removes these risks: we find an apartment, check the title deed, the register extract, encumbrances and the seller, and handle the preliminary contract, the notarial deal, the register entry and residence permit documents together with locally licensed partners.
The cost of support depends on the budget and the goal of the purchase; a manager will calculate it in the chat.
Does buying an apartment give a residence permit
Bulgaria grants a residence permit for buying property with an investment of at least $345,000 (306,800 euros); before the switch to the euro the threshold was 600,000 leva. Of the apartments above, the 116 m² apartment in Lazur for $358,000 meets the threshold.
A citizen of any country buys an apartment outright, and a non-EU citizen holds the share of land under the building through a Bulgarian company. No visa is needed to buy, and a representative handles the deal by notarised power of attorney. Bulgaria has been fully in Schengen since 2025 and has used the euro since 1 January 2026.
