    Requirements to List a Property in the Philippines

    To list with a broker and later complete a sale, the seller must be able to prove ownership and authority to sell, show that real property taxes are paid, and disclose any liens or claims. Use this checklist to prepare.

    1. Proof of ownership
    • Owner's duplicate of the title: TCT (land/house and lot) or CCT (condominium unit)
    • Certified true copy of the title from the Registry of Deeds (recent, ideally within 30 days) to confirm the title is genuine and check annotations
    • Latest Tax Declaration for the land and, separately, for the building/improvement (from the City/Municipal Assessor)
    • If not yet titled in your name: Deed of Sale/Contract to Sell, developer certificate of full payment, or proof of ongoing transfer
    2. Real property tax
    • Real Property Tax Clearance / Tax Clearance Certificate from the City/Municipal Treasurer
    • Latest RPT official receipts (current year)
    • The BIR and Registry of Deeds will not process the transfer without proof that RPT is paid
    3. Identity & authority
    • Two valid government IDs of each registered owner, with TIN
    • Special Power of Attorney (SPA) if someone other than the owner will sign; if signed abroad, consularized or apostilled
    • Married sellers: conjugal or community property needs the written consent/signature of both spouses (Family Code); marriage certificate
    • Companies: Secretary's Certificate / Board Resolution authorizing the sale and signatory, SEC registration, articles & by-laws, latest GIS
    4. Inherited property (estate)
    • Death certificate of the registered owner
    • Extrajudicial Settlement (or Deed of Extrajudicial Settlement with Sale) signed by all heirs, published once a week for three consecutive weeks (Rule 74, Rules of Court), or a court order of partition/probate
    • Estate tax paid and BIR eCAR issued; title transferred to the heirs (or sold through the settlement)
    • SPA from heirs who will not sign personally; birth/marriage certificates proving heirship
    5. Property documents
    • Approved lot plan / survey plan and vicinity map; technical description
    • Building permit and Certificate of Occupancy (houses and buildings)
    • Condominium: Certificate of No Outstanding Dues / clearance from the condominium corporation; subdivision: HOA clearance
    • Recent photos, floor plan and list of fixtures included
    6. Liens, mortgage & annotations
    • If mortgaged: bank statement of outstanding balance; on payoff, Release/Cancellation of Real Estate Mortgage annotated on the title
    • Title must be free of adverse claims, lis pendens, levies or other encumbrances, or these must be cancelled before closing
    • Disclose tenants/occupants and any lease contracts
    7. Special cases
    • Agricultural land: DAR clearance/certification may be needed for transfer; land under CARP (CLOA/EP) has transfer restrictions; conversion requires DAR approval
    • Foreign buyers: foreigners cannot own land (Constitution) but can own condominium units as long as foreign ownership in the project stays within 40% (Condominium Act, RA 4726)
    • OFW / owner abroad: SPA executed at a Philippine embassy/consulate or apostilled, plus copies of passport and IDs
    8. Taxes & costs at sale (estimates)
    • Capital Gains Tax 6% of the higher of selling price, BIR zonal value or Assessor's fair market value (capital assets; usually for the seller's account)
    • Documentary Stamp Tax 1.5% of the same base (PHP 15 per PHP 1,000)
    • Local transfer tax up to 0.5% (provinces) or 0.75% (cities/Metro Manila)
    • Registration fees at the Registry of Deeds; notarial fees; broker's commission as agreed. Developers/ordinary assets may instead be subject to creditable withholding tax and VAT
    • Who pays which cost is negotiable and should be stated in the Deed of Absolute Sale
    9. Broker & listing rules
    • Under the Real Estate Service Act (RA 9646) only PRC-licensed real estate brokers (and accredited salespersons under them) may list, advertise and negotiate sales for a fee
    • Listings are made through a written Authority to Sell: exclusive (one broker, fixed period) or non-exclusive/open (several brokers; commission to the one who closes)
    • Your personal data and documents are processed under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173) and used only to evaluate and market your listing

    This checklist is general information, not legal or tax advice. Requirements can vary by Registry of Deeds, LGU and BIR Revenue District Office; our brokers will confirm what applies to your property.
