Project may raise notary services costs in Paraná and worries real estate sector

The increased fees of notaries in the Paraná can weigh on the pocket of those who intend to buy a property, regularize a property or perform other registration procedures. The alert was made by the Union of Housing and Condominiums of Paraná (SECOVI-PR), which expresses concern about the impacts of the Bill 1016/2025, in process in the Legislative Assembly of Paraná (Aleppo).

The proposal, presented by the Court of Justice of Paraná (TJ-PR), is on the voting agenda this Monday (19) and provides for changes in the criteria for charging notarial and registration services. The possibility of adjustments mobilized representatives from the real estate, construction and other economic activities, who advocate a deeper analysis before approval.

Buying your own home can get more expensive.

One of the main concerns of SECOVI-PR is related to the impact of the new charges on the real estate market.

Currently, the purchase of a property involves expenses for deeds, records and other procedures necessary to ensure the regularity of the property. If the amounts are high, the buyer may need to disburse a larger amount to complete the negotiation.

The impact can also reach builders, developers, real estate companies and investors, who rely on the services of the charter to register ventures and formalize operations.

According to the union, the increase in these expenses can compromise the viability of projects and put pressure on final prices of real estate, making it difficult to access the home itself.

Study indicates possible increase of 51% in costs

A survey released by the Federation of Industries of Paraná (Fiep), in November 2025, identified possible significant increases with the application of the proposed table.

In simulations involving the regularization of buildings and real estate units, the total cost of the services could rise 51% in certain operations.

The study also pointed to specific procedures whose values could double, quadruple or reach nearly ten times the current price.

The federation emphasizes that these percentages represent situations analyzed individually and do not mean that all the services will have the same readjustment.

SECOVI-PR asks for caution in the discussion

The president of SECOVI-PR, Carlos Ribas Tavarnaro, recognizes the importance of notary and registration services to ensure legal certainty, but considers it essential to evaluate the economic effects of the changes.

“We have an excellent relationship with the charter sector and respect its relevance, but readjustments at this time that we go through can be harmful to the whole society. Such an issue should be debated calmly and with common sense, analyzing the needs of all those involved with maximum weight,” says Tavarnaro.

For the leader, the updating of the legislation needs to consider the financial capacity of citizens and companies, in addition to ensuring transparency and predictability in collections.

Entities call for postponement of voting

The concern is also shared by representatives of different economic segments of the Paraná.

On Monday (19), the G7 Paraná, a group formed by seven entities of the productive sector, expressed a position against the immediate vote of the project.

Among the institutions are the Federation of Industries of Paraná (Fiep), the Federation of Goods Trade, Services and Tourism of the Paraná (Fecomercio PR), the Federation of State Agriculture of Paraná (Faep System), the Federation of State Commercial and Business Associations of Paraná (Faciap) and the Ocepar System.

The entities advocate greater transparency in the definition of values, standardization of collections and clarifications on the differences in costs between municipalities.

The G11, which brings together institutions such as Sinduscon-PR, CREA-PR, CRECI-PR and SECOVI-PR, also requested the postponement of the vote.

Among the points that need to be discussed are the rules for registration and verification of georeferencing of rural real estate, in addition to the reflections of the changes on the costs of formalization of business.

What does the bill foresee?

The Bill 1016/2025 aims to modernize the rules for charging for charter services in Paraná, updating a state legislation that dates back to 1970.

The text establishes new calculation parameters and provides for annual updating of the values by the National Broad Consumer Price Index (HICP), in addition to provisions related to transparency and supervision.

The proposal still depends on legislative approval so that the changes can come into effect.

The discussion involves the balance between the sustainability of the charter services, legal certainty and the financial impacts for the population and the productive sector.
