Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the common questions about investing in the Dominican Republic.

Can foreign nationals own property in the Dominican Republic? +

Yes, absolutely. Foreign buyers have the exact same constitutional rights as Dominican citizens. You can hold titles directly under your own name or through a local holding corporation.

What is the CONFOTUR tax exemption law? +

CONFOTUR is a government incentive designed to promote tourism real estate. Under this law, qualified projects are exempt from the 3% property transfer tax and the annual 1% Real Estate Property Tax (IPI) for up to 15 years.

What are the closing costs associated with buying? +

Typically, closing costs range between 1% to 1.5% for legal and notary fees. If the property does not fall under CONFOTUR, there is a 3% transfer tax on the government appraised value.

Is financing available for foreign investors? +

Yes, local commercial banks (such as Banco Popular or Banreservas) offer mortgages to foreigners. However, international buyers often prefer cash purchases or developer payment plans during construction, which are interest-free.
