Where a Pasig transfer is processed
Registration happens where the property sits: for land and condominiums in Pasig, the new title is issued by the Registry of Deeds of Pasig. The transfer taxes are split between the BIR — capital gains tax and documentary stamp tax at the Revenue District Office with jurisdiction over Pasig — and the Pasig City Treasurer’s Office for the local transfer tax. Pasig, and the Ortigas Center within it, is a dense commercial and business-process outsourcing hub, so a large share of local transactions are condominium units in and around Ortigas.
Transferring a title, in order
A notarized deed of sale; payment of the capital gains tax and documentary stamp tax at the BIR; issuance of the electronic Certificate Authorizing Registration (eCAR); payment of the transfer tax at the treasurer; then registration at the Registry of Deeds of Pasig, which cancels the old title and issues a new one. The tax declaration is updated last.
Condominium-specific checks
For an Ortigas condo, verify the unit’s Condominium Certificate of Title, that association dues and real property tax are current, and, for a foreign buyer, that the project stays within the forty percent foreign-ownership cap. Pre-selling turnovers carry their own PD 957 protections.

Frequently asked
Which office issues the new title for a Pasig property?
The Registry of Deeds of Pasig, which has jurisdiction over land and condominiums located in the city. It cancels the seller’s title and issues a new one in the buyer’s name, but only after the BIR has issued the eCAR proving the transfer taxes were paid.
What taxes do I pay to transfer a Pasig title?
Capital gains tax of six percent on the higher of the price or zonal value and documentary stamp tax of one and one-half percent to the BIR, a local transfer tax of up to three-quarters of one percent to the Pasig City Treasurer, and the Registry of Deeds registration fee.
What should I check before buying an Ortigas condo?
Confirm the Condominium Certificate of Title is clean, that association dues and real property tax are fully paid, and, if you are a foreign buyer, that foreign ownership in the building remains within the forty percent limit. For pre-selling units, check the developer’s PD 957 license and the turnover terms.
How long does a Pasig title transfer take?
Commonly two to four months, driven by BIR processing of the eCAR and the queue at the Registry of Deeds. Unpaid real property tax, missing documents, or an unsettled estate on the seller’s side are the usual causes of delay.
