Good to know

Buying in Costa Rica

Can foreigners own property here?

Yes. Foreign nationals have the same ownership rights as Costa Rican citizens and can hold titled property in their own name, a company, or a trust - no local partner required.

What are the typical closing costs?

Closing costs are largely set by law and usually total around 3.5-4% of the price, covering transfer tax, stamps and notary fees, plus legal due-diligence.

How does the buying process work?

Usually 45-90 days: a letter of intent with a deposit in escrow, title due-diligence by your attorney, a purchase agreement, then closing before a notary who registers the transfer.
