Yes, absolutely. Foreigners have the same property ownership rights as Costa Rican citizens. The only exception is for properties located within the Maritime Zone (within 200 meters of the high-tide line), which are regulated differently. We help guide all our clients through legal processes to ensure safe and legitimate purchases.
The region offers a diverse range of options—from luxury homes with ocean views, off-grid jungle villas, and modern condos to development land, commercial spaces, and income-generating vacation rentals. Whether you’re looking to retire, invest, or relocate, there’s a property to match your vision and lifestyle.
On average, the process takes between 30 and 60 days, depending on the complexity of the transaction and the readiness of both parties. With proper legal representation and experienced guidance (like ours), the process can be smooth and secure.
Besides the property price, buyers typically cover legal fees, notary services, and government taxes, which usually range from 3% to 4.5% of the property’s value. We provide transparent breakdowns of all costs involved and connect you with trusted local professionals.
Financing through local banks can be challenging for non-residents, but private lenders or international financing options may be available. Many buyers opt for cash purchases. We’re happy to walk you through the best strategies based on your personal situation.
Typical recurring costs include annual property taxes (very low compared to other countries), utility bills, maintenance, and optional property management fees. If your property is within a gated community or development, there may be HOA fees as well.
