Effective Year

Why This Matters

The BIR zonal value is used to compute Documentary Stamp Tax (1.5%) and Capital Gains Tax (6%) when buying property. The tax base is whichever is higher: the selling price or zonal value. This protects you from under-declared transactions but means you can't reduce taxes by negotiating a lower paper price.

Before buying in Tagaytay Highlands, make sure to verify these key points:

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does golf membership cost at Tagaytay Highlands?
Golf membership at Tagaytay Highlands is separate from property ownership and costs approximately ₱5-7 million. Some resale lots include transferable golf shares, but this must be explicitly stated. Non-members can still enjoy the community but won't have golf course access.
What are the different enclaves in Tagaytay Highlands?
Major enclaves include: Katsura (Japanese-inspired), Sycamore Heights, Aspen Hills, Fairfield, The Terraces, and Midlands (by Alveo). Each has different price points, views, and architectural themes.
Is Tagaytay Highlands good for vacation rentals?
Yes, there's strong demand for short-term rentals especially during peak seasons (December, Holy Week, long weekends). Properties with Taal views command premium nightly rates. HOA allows rentals with proper registration.
What is the climate like in Tagaytay Highlands?
Temperature typically ranges from 18-25°C year-round, significantly cooler than Metro Manila. Fog is common in early mornings during certain months (July-November). The cool climate is a major draw for buyers escaping Metro Manila heat.
How far is Tagaytay Highlands from Metro Manila?
Approximately 55-65 km from Makati, taking 60-90 minutes depending on traffic. The route via CALAX has reduced travel time. Most owners treat Highlands as a weekend home rather than primary residence.
