Local facts
Home search services: what's particular to Zug
A purchase in Zug is notarised before it is registered. The City of Zug runs its own Notariat in the Stadthaus, which drafts purchase contracts, easements, gifts and condominium deeds and passes them on to the cantonal land registry office at Aabachstrasse 5 (City of Zug, checked ). Notarial fees follow the cantonal administrative fee tariff: CHF 300 to 4,000 for a contract transferring ownership, CHF 210 to 850 for creating or changing a mortgage and CHF 800 to 10,000 for creating condominium ownership (Canton of Zug, checked ).
Buyers who count as persons abroad under the Lex Koller deal with the cantonal Volkswirtschaftsdirektion, the permit authority. The land registry refers a transaction there when it doubts whether a permit is needed, and the canton publishes a leaflet listing the evidence with which the registry can enter a purchase directly (Canton of Zug, checked ).
Renting is the comparison: the average net rent of an occupied three-room flat was CHF 1,875 a month (2024) (FSO, checked ). Sellers of privately held property owe the city a property gains tax, handled by its tax office (City of Zug, checked ).
Registering in Zug
Foreign nationals arriving in Zug register with the cantonal migration office (Amt für Migration, Aabachstrasse 1) within 14 days (2026) (Amt für Migration Zug, checked ), EU/EFTA citizens by posting form A1. The City of Zug's residents' office in the Stadthaus receives the registration automatically and charges nothing (stadtzug.ch, checked ). Swiss citizens report a move through eUmzug.
