Juiz de Fora real estate donations rise 21.7%

Real estate donations in Juiz de Fora increased by 21.7% between 2024 and 2025, according to data from the Colégio Notarial do Brasil.

This surge is attributed to upcoming changes in the rules for the Inheritance and Donation Tax (ITCMD). New regulations will mandate the use of progressive tax rates, replacing the previous single-percentage system used by states. Because the tax will now vary based on the total value of the inheritance or donation, taxpayers are seeking to accelerate property transfers to avoid higher taxation on larger assets before the new rules take effect.
