DIY: Transferring Land Title, Part 2: Registry of Deeds

 After getting the eCAR from the BIR, the final step of transferring the land title to the new owner is by submitting the required documents to the Registry of Deeds branch where the property is registered.

In our case, it is the Urdaneta branch.

As I mentioned from the last part of my previous post, we went straight to the Registry of Deeds right after we got the eCAR on December 10.

Unfortunately, their WANLink System was down so they couldn't process it.

Since we're already there though, we had our documents assessed, just to be sure that we have all the requirements.

As per the below checklist, we needed to pay the Realty Tax Clearance and Sales Tax at the Treasurer's Office which is located at the old Municipal Office of Urdaneta.

DIY: Transferring Land Title, Part 1: BIR

 So you bought a residential lot and would like to transfer the title to your name.

How?

To simplify, there are 2 steps in doing so:

1. Get an eCAR from BIR.

2. Submit the required docs and eCAR to the Registry of Deeds, and wait for their notification via SMS that you're title has been transferred and is ready for pick up.

Simple, right?

But TIME CONSUMING (because of the queues). 😮‍💨

Nonetheless, since we're doing it ourselves with the residential lot we have acquired, I'll share with you our experience.
