Thailand Extends Reduced Property Transfer and Mortgage Registration Fees

Thailand will keep its reduced government fees for property sale and mortgage registration in place for another year. Two Ministry of Interior notifications, issued following a cabinet resolution on June 30, 2026, and published in the Government Gazette on July 1, 2026, extend the previously reduced fee levels through June 30, 2027.

The reduced registration fees apply to the sale and mortgage of the same property types covered in prior versions of the scheme: detached houses, semidetached houses, row houses, commercial buildings, land transferred together with such buildings, and condominium units. To be eligible for the reduced fees, the purchase price, the officially assessed value, and the mortgage amount must each not exceed THB 7 million, and the buyer must be a Thai individual.

The reduced registration fees for eligible sales and mortgages are calculated as follows:

  • Sale: 0.01% of the official assessed value (reduced from standard rate of 2%)
  • Mortgage: 0.01% of the mortgage amount (reduced from standard rate of 1%)

The reduced mortgage registration fee applies only if the mortgage is registered at the same time as the sale of the property.

Since passage almost 30 years ago, the original Act has been amended three times in an attempt to keep the law up-to-date with new private sector developments and practices.

Thailand’s property market is still on the rise and highly competitive. Advertisements for new real estate developments are everywhere, and with them are promises of freebies. While some projects offer free air conditioners, televisions, and furniture, others promise gyms, swimming pools, and even nurseries. Often such promotional gimmicks are in fact not referenced in the purchase agreement. So what happens if, after project completion, the developer fails to deliver on its promises? This article outlines the available recourse under Thailand’s Consumer Case Procedure Act.
