Transfer Certificate of Title - concept for register of deeds,
sale or property.
Signed, sealed, delivered – but is the land already yours?
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to transfer a land title
under your name.
Note: This article is an updated version of the one published
last March 11, 2015.
Disclaimer: Although much effort has been made in the
creation of this guide, Lamudi Philippines and OMI Land Title
Services advise homebuyers to always consult with
professionals, such as real estate brokers and lawyers.
Buying a property is no easy task. The process of acquiring
new space doesn’t just stop when you bring out the cash and
acquire a Deed of Sale. One of the most crucial steps would
be transferring the land title from the seller’s name to the
buyer’s name – that’s you! The issuance of a new land title
will be the ultimate proof of ownership. After all, you can’t
call it yours if it’s not filed under your name, right? And don’t
take this for granted! Failure to comply would mean facing
technical, legal, and financial issues.

Even before the purchase of a property, make sure to plan
out the steps of executing the transfer of land title. If you’re
not able to do this personally, make sure to hire a duly
registered company or a highly trustworthy expert who can
go through the process on your behalf. Though take note
that along the way, you may have to personally need to go to
the government offices for follow-ups and status updates.
Once you have the Deed of Sale signed and notarized,
deadlines for tax payments are already in effect. Failure to
meet deadlines would occur penalties and surcharges – a true
pain in the wallet. For some cases, if payment has been
delayed for several years, the total penalty amount can even
be greater than the value of the property at the time of
purchase.
Acquiring that coveted land title is surely a tedious and long
process which can take several months to complete. In some
cases, it can take longer than expected if there are problems
with the property’s existing documents or records. Numerous
back and fourths with multiple government agencies are
necessary and a patient attitude is extremely required.
Here’s a 6-step guide to help you process the transfer of
your land title:
1.) File and secure the required documents at the Office of
the Bureau of Internal Revenue Regional District (BIR
RDO)
Before making your way to the office, make sure you have
secured the complete list of all necessary documents. Bring
hard copies of the required documents below:
 Original copy and (2) photocopies of the notarized
Deed of Absolute Sale (DAS)
 Owner’s duplicate copy and (2) photocopies of the
Transfer Certificate of Title (TCT) OR the
Condominium Certificate of Title (CCT) in case of sale
of condominium units
 Certified True Copies and (2) photocopies of the latest
Tax Declaration for land and improvement of the real
property. *NOTE: If the property sold is a vacant lot or
 no improvements have been made on it, a Sworn
Declaration of No Improvement by at least one of the
transferees or Certificate of No Improvement issued
by the city or municipal assessor is required
 Tax Identification Numbers (TIN) of the Seller and
Buyer
Take note that there are additional requirements for certain
cases. It’s best to double check to minimize numerous back
and fourths:
 If the person signing on the document is not the
owner as it appears on the TCT or CCT: Special
Power of Attorney (SPA)
 If the SPA is executed abroad: Certification of the
Philippine Consulate. If zonal value cannot readily be
determined from the documents submitted:
Location plan or vicinity map
 For documents required in case of mortgage, judicial
or extra-judicial settlement of estate, judicial and
extra-judicial foreclosure of mortgage, consolidation
of ownership, execution sale, and condominium
project: Refer to the required documents filed under
the Registration of Real Property with the Register of
Deeds
 Other requirements as may be required by law,
rulings, regulations, or other issuances
2.) Secure assessment of transfer taxes at the BIR and
Authorized Agent Bank (AAB) OR Municipal OR City
Treasurer’s Office
After filing the required documents, a BIR representative will
calculate your Capital Gains Tax (CGT) and Documentary
Stamp Tax (DST). Afterwards, they will ask you to sign three
(3) copies each of the ff:
 BIR Form 1706 (CGT)
 BIR Form 2000 (DST)
These will then be filed at the AAB. For areas where there are
no AABs, they will be filed with the Authorized City or
Municipal Treasurer.
3.) File documents at the BIR for the issuance of Certificate
Authorizing Registration (CAR) OR BIR Clearance
You will receive a claim slip with the claim date of the CAR,
which will be released along with the following documents:
 Original copy of the Deed of Absolute Sale, stamped
as received by the BIR
 Owner’s Duplicate Copy of the TCT or the CCT
 Original copies of the BIR Form 1706 (CGT) and Form
2000 (DST), stamped as received by the BIR
 Copies of the Tax Declaration for land and
improvement
 According to BIR Memorandum Order No. 15-03, BIR
RDOs should release CARs for all One Time
Transaction (ONETT) within five (5) days of
submitting all required documents.
4.) Pay the Transfer Taxes and secure the Tax Clearance at
the Local Treasurer’s Office
Aside from paying the Transfer Tax, you also need to secure
the following documents for the issuance of the Tax
Clearance:
 Original copy and (1) photocopy of the Deed of
Absolute Sale
 photocopy of the Tax Declaration
 Official Receipt of Payment of Real Property Tax and
Special Education Fund Tax for the current year
5.) File documents at the Registry of Deeds for the issuance
of new land title
The new owner’s duplicate copy of the TCT and CCT in your
name will be released once you have presented all of the
following documents:
 Original Copy and (3) photocopies of the Deed of
Absolute Sale, stamped as received by the BIR
 Seller’s Owner’s Duplicate Copy of the TCT or CCT
 Original Copy of the CAR
 Original Copy of the Tax Clearance
 Original Copies of Official Receipts of Payments of
CGT, DST, Tax Clearance Certificate, and Transfer Fee
 Original Copies of the Current Tax Declaration for
land and improvement issued by the local assessor’s
office
 If the seller or buyer is a corporation, submit the
following requirements:
o Secretary’s Certificate authorizing the sale of the
real property
o Certified True Copy of the Articles of
Incorporation and By Laws of the seller or buyer
corporation
6.) File documents at the Municipal or Provincial Assessor’s
Office for the issuance of new Tax Declaration
For the release of the new Tax Declaration, present a
photocopy of the following documents:
 Deed of Absolute Sale
 TCT OR CCT
 CAR
 Transfer Tax Receipt
 Latest Tax Receipt OR Tax Clearance
For some local assessors’ offices (ex. Makati City), additional
documents are required:
 Subdivision Plan, if lot is subdivided
 Full-color photos of the house, lot, or condominium unit
Do not forget to accomplish this last step, as this is often
missed out. Remember – ownership of a Tax Declaration
should always be done after Land Title Transfer as the name
on the Land Title should coincide with the name indicated on
the Tax Declaration.
