Tier 1
High market pressure
The gap between DGI and market price is the largest.
Major cities and high-demand coastal areas — the market moves far from the declarative base.

Official declarative base
Your property's DGI price, at a glance
The DGI scale is the official declarative base used by the Algiersian administration to calculate taxes, registration fees, gifts and inheritance. Tell us about your property — we'll explain its DGI value and what it implies.
Understand
Two references, two logics.
To properly estimate a property in Algiersia, you need to understand the difference between the DGI declarative base and the prices observed on the market. They are not the same prices — and each plays a very different role.
DGI · Directorate General of Taxes
The official declarative base.
The DGI price is what is declared to the notary and tax administration during a transaction. It is the minimum price recognized by the State to calculate registration fees, capital gains tax, gifts and inheritance.
This scale is officially published by province, commune, property type and standing.
Legal reference
Market · Real estate ads
The prices asked by sellers.
The market prices are the prices displayed in ads by sellers. These are asked prices, not confirmed sale prices.
A property listed at 25M DA may sell for 22 or 23M DA after negotiation. The market is therefore a positioning indicator, not an absolute truth.
Asked prices ≠ sale prices
Geography of the gap
The gap between DGI and market varies by province.
DGI evolves slowly, the market faster. Depending on the property pressure in the area, the gap between the two can be very large or more contained.
Tier 2
Medium market pressure
The gap between DGI and market price is moderate.
Intermediate provinces (coast, north, highlands) — active market but closer to the declarative scale.

Low market pressure
The gap between DGI and market price is the lowest.

What this value means
This is the minimum declarative amount the Algiersian tax administration recognizes for your property type in your province. Below this amount, the notary cannot register the transaction without justification.
What this number is actually used for
The administration uses this base to calculate several real estate duties and taxes:
- Registration duties (at notary signing)
- Capital gains tax (on resale)
- Gift and inheritance duties
- Annual property tax (calculation base)
Calculation details
Important: this is not the actual sale price
The DGI value is generally lower than the actual transaction price. It's an official declarative base used by the administration, not a market estimate.

When to consult the DGI
Four situations where DGI is decisive.
Property sale
The notary cannot register a sale below the DGI price without justification. Knowing the DGI allows you to set a defensible declarative price.
Gift & inheritance
Gift and inheritance duties are calculated on the minimum DGI base. A good reading avoids reassessments.
Purchase negotiation
DGI is the floor price recognized by the administration. Knowing it gives a solid leverage point to negotiate.
Capital gain & tax
Capital gains tax is calculated between acquisition price and sale price. A fine DGI reading optimizes your taxation.
