What buying in Alzira actually costs

Alzira sits in the size class where Valencia property still trades on local knowledge more than on portals. Roughly a third of dwellings, 29,13 %, are not a main residence. The average appraisal is 1.224,0 €/m², which is cheap by Spanish standards.

The bill that lands on the day of the deed

What the town hall charges every year

Alzira sets its urban IBI at 0,693 %, a little above what most town halls charge.

The rural rate of 0,763 % is unusually close to the urban one.

The typical Alzira home is on the register at 47.965 €, below the national middle.

180.000 € of cadastral value at 0,693 % is 1.247 € a year, but the base is dated and a revision would change it sharply.

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.

The cadastral values are dated

The tax on construction work is 2,6 %, so a refurbishment budget should carry it.

The Alzira register dates from 2005; a future revision could move the yearly bill significantly even if the rate never changes.
