Peace of Mind

A clean, straightforward purchase.

★ CONFOTUR · LAW 158-01
15 full years · Zero property tax
This property is registered under the Dominican Republic's CONFOTUR Tourism Investment Law (158-01), which means the owner pays no annual property tax (IPI) for 15 full years and no 3% transfer tax at purchase. The current owner has not paid any property tax since acquisition, and this benefit transfers fully to you as the new buyer for the remainder of the exemption period. This is one of the strongest real-estate tax incentives in the Caribbean — a concrete, documented advantage over comparable properties.

Common Questions

Things buyers want to know.

CONFOTUR (Law 158-01) is the Dominican Republic's flagship tourism investment incentive. Properties in approved tourism developments receive up to 15 years free of the annual property tax (IPI) plus exemption from the 3% transfer tax. The exemption is attached to the property itself, not to the original owner — meaning the remaining benefit period transfers to you as the new buyer. Your lawyer will verify the active certification and remaining years at closing as part of standard due diligence.
Yes. The Dominican Republic places no restrictions on foreign ownership of real estate. You'll receive the same property rights as a Dominican citizen, with full ownership registered in your name.
A buyer's lawyer typically conducts due diligence (ownership verification, encumbrance search, tax verification) over 2–4 weeks. Once cleared, a Promise of Sale agreement is signed with a 10% deposit. Closing follows 30–60 days later with the full transfer of ownership recorded at the local property registry.
Standard closing costs in the Dominican Republic are roughly 4–5% (3% transfer tax, 1% legal fees, plus minor registration and notary fees). However, this property qualifies under the CONFOTUR Tourism Investment Law, which exempts the buyer from the 3% transfer tax — typically saving around $17,000+ on a property at this price point. Your remaining costs are primarily legal fees and registration. Verification of CONFOTUR exemption transfer should be completed by your lawyer at closing.
Yes. The current professional management team is willing to continue with the new owner under the existing terms. You can step into a producing asset with active bookings on day one — no setup, no learning curve.
Absolutely. I'm happy to arrange a live video walkthrough on WhatsApp or Zoom at a time that works in your timezone. Floor plans and additional photo sets are available on request.
Most international buyers purchase with cash or financing arranged in their home country. Some Dominican banks offer mortgages to foreign nationals (typically 50–60% LTV at 7–9% interest), though rates and terms vary. Your lawyer can help with introductions if needed.
