IV: Contribution to payment

Public officers who, under the terms of articles 1705 and 1706, have made, for the parties, the advance payment of registration duties or land registration tax may pursue payment in accordance with the provisions of the loi du 24 décembre 1897 relative au recouvrement des frais dus aux notaires, avoués et huissiers.

The duties of civil and judicial deeds involving the transfer of ownership or usufruct of movable or immovable property, shall be borne by the new possessors, and those of all other deeds shall be borne by the parties to whom the deeds benefit, where, in these various cases, no provisions to the contrary have been stipulated in the deeds.
