What buying in Burriana actually costs

Homes here are appraised at 1.071,5 €/m², at the bottom of the national range. Roughly a third of dwellings, 32,68 %, are not a main residence. Burriana sits in the size class where Castellón property still trades on local knowledge more than on portals.

The bill that lands on the day of the deed

In Burriana the transfer tax is often larger than every other closing cost put together, because the tax scales with the price and the fees largely do not. Valencian Community applies 9 %, among the highest transfer-tax rates in Spain.

A cadastral register left untouched for decades

Building work is taxed at 3,5 %, near the top of what town halls may charge.

Burriana last revalued its cadastre in 1996, so today's rate is charged on a base from another era — the revision risk is real.

What the town hall charges every year

Rural land is charged at 0,3 %, which is nominal.

The typical Burriana home is on the register at 45.921 €, below the national middle.

Burriana sets its urban IBI at 0,73 %, a little above what most town halls charge.

The arithmetic is 180.000 € at 0,73 %, or 1.314 € a year — on a register so old that the rate tells you little about the eventual bill.

The cadastral value in this example is a round illustrative figure, not the cadastral value of any particular property here. Ask for the last IBI receipt: it states the real one.
