What is the notarial fee (taksa notarialna)?
The notarial fee (taksa notarialna), i.e. the notary’s remuneration, is the amount the notary charges for a specific notarial service, such as drawing up a deed of certification of succession or a sale of premises. The maximum amount of the notarial fee is regulated by the decree of the Minister of Justice of 28 June 2004. The notarial fee for drawing up a sale agreement or a gift agreement concerning real estate depends on the value of the subject of the agreement. For precise information about the notarial fee for a given service and other charges related to notarial transactions, please contact us.
It is possible to arrange an appointment outside the office’s opening hours and on Saturdays, subject to prior arrangement.
Can you be exempted from notarial fees?
If a party to a notarial transaction is in a difficult financial situation and cannot bear the notary’s remuneration without detriment to the necessary maintenance of themselves and their family, they may apply for a full or partial exemption from this remuneration. This is regulated in Article 6 of the Act on the Notarial Profession (Prawo o notariacie). To do so, an appropriate application must be filed with the district court competent for the party’s place of residence. Documents showing the applicant’s financial situation must be attached to the application.
If the court finds that the notarial transaction needs to be performed, it grants the application and appoints a notary who will perform the notarial service; in that case, the notary’s remuneration is paid by the State Treasury.
Fixed notarial fees and fees depending on the value of the transaction
Notarial fees are divided into fixed fees and fees depending on the value of the transaction performed. Fixed notarial fees apply to services whose cost does not depend on the value of the subject of the transaction. Examples of such services include:
- drawing up a certification of succession,
- preparing an official copy, duplicate or copy of documents, including a will or a rejection of inheritance.
In the case of notarial fees depending on the value of the transaction, the cost of the service is proportional to the value of the subject of the transaction. Examples of such services include:
- drawing up a notarial deed transferring ownership of real estate,
- establishing a mortgage,
- concluding articles of association of a company.
As mentioned above, all fees are determined in accordance with the applicable regulations and the notarial fee schedule. When performing certain notarial services at the office, the notary is obliged to collect cash from the client, which is then transferred to the appropriate state institutions. This money covers various taxes and charges, such as the tax on civil law transactions, the inheritance and gift tax or the court fee.
