Property tax in Alanya, Turkey, in 2026

The standard annual tax on an ordinary residential apartment in Alanya is 0.2% of its municipal tax value, unless an exemption applies. It is not 0.2% of the asking price in euros. Obtain the assessment for the specific property and tax year.

Rates and the municipal tax base

These are the metropolitan rates derived from the Revenue Administration's property tax guidance. The category and any relief must be checked against the property's records.

For properties covered by the 2026 limitation, the new tax value cannot exceed the 2025 value plus twice that value: a maximum of three times the previous base. This is a ceiling, not an automatic threefold increase for every apartment. New assessments have specific rules. The change is explained by the Union of Municipalities of Türkiye.

A calculation example

Suppose an apartment has a municipal tax value of TRY 1,000,000 and no exemption. At 0.2%, the basic annual property tax is TRY 2,000. The cultural heritage contribution is 10% of the assessed tax, or TRY 200 in this example. These two items total TRY 2,200. The contribution is provided for in Article 12 of Law No. 2863.

This example excludes maintenance fees, utilities, insurance, arrears and late-payment charges. It is not an estimate for every apartment.

Payment and exemptions

The usual instalment periods are March–May and November. Check the current deadline and assessment in the municipality's payment system, including any adjustment for non-working days. Start from Alanya Municipality and its payment services, verify the owner, address and tax year, then retain the receipt.

A zero rate is available to qualifying categories under specific conditions, including rules concerning a single home in Turkey of up to 200 m² gross. Retirement age or a foreign pension card alone does not establish eligibility. Ask the municipality to assess your documents.

The separate valuable housing tax

Değerli Konut Vergisi has its own rules and exemptions. The 2026 threshold is a building tax value of TRY 17,711,000. Owning only one dwelling in Turkey may qualify for exemption; the year in which liability starts also matters. Consult the official 2026 guide rather than treating it as an automatic charge on an expensive purchase.

Before buying in Alanya, request the latest municipal assessment. It is a better basis for a running-cost budget than a generic annual figure.
