Property in Pollença
Pollença recorded 272 property sales in 2025, down 2.2% from 278 in 2024. Activity has eased from its 2022 high of 361 sales, placing the latest count in a quieter phase of the municipality’s transaction cycle. Completed sales nevertheless remained above the 2020 low of 214. For someone selling, the recent sequence establishes a lower-volume backdrop than at the peak; for someone buying, the latest annual count still represents 272 completed transactions.
In 2024, Pollença’s flat existing-contract rent median was €7.87 per square metre, ranking 14th among 43 island municipalities. That flat median stood 10.2% above the middle level of the island’s municipalities, which was €7.14 per square metre. The monthly flat existing-contract rent median was €678, alongside a median dwelling size of 94 square metres. The house existing-contract rent median was €5.47 per square metre, with a monthly median of €709.
Property sales in Pollença
Sales edged down from 278 in 2024 to 272 in 2025, a decline of 2.2%. Across the island, sales fell by 0.5% over the same years, so Pollença’s decrease was 1.7 percentage points greater. The difference marks a somewhat weaker year for local transaction volume than for the island overall, while the year-on-year movement in Pollença was smaller than the shifts visible earlier in its own sales history.
The municipality recorded 331 sales in 2016 and reached a low of 214 in 2020. Activity then recovered to its series high of 361 in 2022 before falling to 297 in 2023, 278 in 2024 and 272 in 2025. Each year since that high has brought fewer completed sales. For buyers and sellers, the latest count therefore belongs to a sustained retreat from the peak, although it remains above the 2020 low.

For an example purchase of an existing property priced at €500,000, estimated buying taxes and fees total €47,265, or 9.45% of the example price. The example total including the property price is €547,265. Example transfer tax accounts for €41,000 at an effective rate of 8.2%, while example fees add €6,265.

Separately from these purchase amounts, the urban IBI rate is 0.45% annually on the cadastral value and has applied since 2024.
Calculate closing costs
Explanation
The purchase price stated in the deed. If it is below the cadastral reference value, ATIB taxes the higher value.
Explanation
Existing property is subject to property transfer tax (ITP), while a new build is subject to value added tax (IVA) plus stamp duty (AJD). The two tax treatments are mutually exclusive.

Mallorca IBI calculator
Explanation
The municipality sets the rate. IBI is a municipal tax: the same cadastral value costs considerably more in one town than in the next, because each one fixes its own rate in its tax bylaw (ordenanza fiscal).
Explanation
The valor catastral is the official value the Spanish land registry office (Catastro) sets for your property — land and building together. It is not the purchase price, not the market value and not the valor de referencia, and it normally sits well below all of them. You will find it on your last IBI bill and in the cadastral portal.
- Rate (tipo de gravamen) in Pollença
- 0.450%
- IBI per year, ballpark figure
- €810.00
Calculated from the cadastral value. The bill is calculated on the reduced taxable base (base liquidable); where a revaluation is running, it comes out lower. Reductions and exemptions are not included.
Applies to this one cadastral unit and a full tax year. Not included: apportionment in the year of purchase, co-ownership shares, reductions and exemptions. A garage and a storeroom often have a cadastral reference of their own — then you calculate them separately.
That works out at €67.50 a month
The statutory range for this class of property runs from 0.400% to 1.100%; municipalities may go above or below it in certain cases (Art. 72(3) and (5)).
