Buying in Uberlândia, in detail
Uberlândia is not a state capital, yet it ranks 24th among Payotte's 55 cities by population and 26th in the national top 100. The 2022 census recorded 713,224 residents. Payotte shows 768,339 for 2026. Growth of 7.7% ranks 19th and beats the 5.5% for Brazil. The city holds 3.5% of Minas Gerais, whose capital, Belo Horizonte, had 2,315,560 residents.
Renting is common. Tenants live in 30.8% across 268,018 occupied homes, 13th of 55 and above the national 22.2%. Belo Horizonte stands at 25.5%. Owners hold 62.8%. A home shelters 2.66 people, 39th.
The price context comes from the state. Financed homes in Minas Gerais reach a median appraisal of R$ 289,000 at the Banco Central, 9th of 27 and close to R$ 291 thousand for Brazil. Cash sales do not appear. A Price loan on that median costs R$ 2,156 a month. SINAPI, the construction cost survey, gives R$ 1,866 for a square metre, 23rd.
The ITBI law of Uberlândia could not be read, so no rate or amount is given here. Ask the city hall or its Secretaria de Finanças. Belo Horizonte, by contrast, charges 3%.
Notary and registry fees remain known. On R$ 500 thousand, R$ 5,523 goes to the escritura and R$ 5,523 to the registro, together R$ 11,046, or 2.21%. On R$ 1 million, R$ 13,733, or 1.37%. Without ITBI both are minimums. IPTU, the annual property tax, amounted to R$ 604 for every home in 2024, 74th in the top 100.
The escritura is the deed signed before a notary, and the registro enters the buyer's name in the property registry. Minas Gerais prints both in full, with the state shares included, yet ITBI is missing from the total because each municipality sets its own. Whoever buys in Uberlândia will therefore pay more than the sums above. With R$ 500 thousand to spend, banks lend at most 80%, or R$ 400,000 over 30 years, at an August 2026 average of 11.28% a year, with the Selic at 13.75%. The Price instalment is R$ 3,730.
Set beside the capital, Uberlândia has more tenants but fewer residents. Belo Horizonte is the other Minas Gerais city on Payotte, with ITBI at 3% and the same two cartório figures, R$ 5,523 each on R$ 500 thousand, because both follow one state table.
In short
On a R$ 500 thousand home in Uberlândia (Minas Gerais), the ITBI transfer tax, the notary deed and the registration come to at least R$ 11,046. 30.8% of occupied homes were rented in the 2022 Census.
