Are there property taxes unique to Marbella that buyers should be aware of?

Spain’s standard framework applies: resales incur ITP (transfer tax) on a sliding scale, while new builds carry 10% VAT plus stamp duty (AJD). Buyers also pay notary and registry fees. Annually, expect IBI (local property tax) and basura (waste) charges, with amounts varying by municipality and cadastral value.

Sellers face Plusvalía, a municipal tax on land value increase, and possible capital gains tax. A local lawyer or fiscal advisor will model total costs so you can budget 10–13% above the price for most purchases.
