MADDE 279 · 3. Mülkiyetin geçmesi

Artırmada taşınır bir mal alan kişi, onun mülkiyetini ihale anında kazanır. Artırmadan alınan taşınmazın mülkiyeti, ancak tapu siciline tescille alıcıya geçer.

Artırma görevlisi, satış tutanağında gösterilen taşınmazın alıcı adına tescilini hemen tapu idaresine bildirir.

Cebrî artırma sonucunda yapılan ihalelerde mülkiyetin geçmesine ilişkin özel hükümler saklıdır.

İsteğe bağlı özel artırmalarda mülkiyetin geçmesi genel hükümlere tabidir.
