Under item 2.1 of Governmental Agreement 325-2005 (checked against the RGP's PDF on 2026-08-22), recording a sale pays a minimum of Q160 where the value is under Q10,000 and, from Q10,000 upward, Q1.50 per thousand or fraction of the excess; recording promises to sell and mortgages for unpaid balances pays a flat Q250 (item 2.1), and each annotation of a lawsuit or attachment Q160 (item 2.3). The dossier's example: a Q500,000 house pays approximately Q160 + Q735. The “Q0.50 per Q1,000” figure that circulates in a commercial guide does not match the text of the tariff and was discarded in audit; whether there are amendments to AG 325-2005 after 2005 remains to be verified.

The research is written in English; quoted figures, source names and the titles of legal instruments stay in the language their source published them in.

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
