Property Declaration Translation

What is the property declaration?

The property declaration/valuation document shows the property’s tax value in the municipal records. It is obtained from the municipality’s property department and, together with the title deed, clarifies the asset valuation.

What is it needed for in an Italian application?

It can be asked for in the DSU/ISEE Parificato asset (ISPE) calculation, to document the property’s current value. While the title deed shows the ownership, the property declaration/valuation sets out that property’s value; the two are assessed together.

Where and how do you get the document?

Obtain the document from the property/revenue department of the municipality the property is tied to, or via e-Belediye. The apostille on municipality-sourced documents is taken through the relevant District/Provincial Governorate.

The apostille and sworn-translation process

Take the document with the current year’s valuation/tax value, have it apostilled where needed and have the sworn Italian translation made. Because the value is updated yearly, using the declaration for the application period matters.

What to watch in the sworn translation

The declared value must belong to the current year and be consistent with the title-deed details (block, parcel, nature). For more than one property, each must be documented separately.
