Tapu (Turkish tapu) is a legal document confirming ownership of real estate or land in Turkey. The name comes from the Ottoman concept meaning "sacred" or "inviolable", which underlines the importance of this document for the owners.
Why do I need Tapu?
✔ Confirms the ownership right – without it, the transaction is not considered legally completed.
✔ Fixes the boundaries of the site – the document specifies the exact parameters of the object.
✔ Defines the type of real estate – housing, land, commercial area, etc.
✔ Required for a residence permit and citizenship – when buying a property starting from $200,000.
Types of Tapu in Turkey
Kat Mulkiyeti (Apartment Property) – for apartments in apartment buildings.
Arsa Tapusu (Land plot) – the right to land without buildings.
How can I verify the authenticity of Tapu?
Before buying a property, it is important to:
→ Verify the data with the Cadastral Office (Tapu Dairesi).
→ Make sure that the seller has no debts on the object.
→ Check for an "Iskan" (operating permit).
Tapu is your guarantor of a secure transaction!
