Buying in Austria — common questions

Can foreigners buy property in Austria?
EU citizens buy on equal terms in most states; Tyrol and Salzburg require Grundverkehr approval for foreign second-home buyers (regulated to limit speculative second-home growth). Non-EU buyers face similar Grundverkehr scrutiny in all states. Process is transparent but state-specific; engaging a local lawyer is essential.
What taxes apply when buying property in Austria?
Property transfer tax of 3.5% plus 1.1% land registry fee. New builds carry 20% VAT, generally embedded. Capital gains taxed at a flat 30% (Immobilienertragsteuer) regardless of holding period; primary residences exempt after 2 years. Rental income is taxed at progressive personal income tax rates up to 55%.

What is the legal process for buying property in Austria?
Austria offers the most mature alpine property market in the EU with deep liquidity and the highest construction-quality standards. Each of the nine federal states (Bundesländer) has its own property acquisition law (Grundverkehrsgesetz), with Tyrol and Salzburg historically the most restrictive for non-resident second-home buyers.
