When purchasing real estate in the Dominican Republic, the buyer pays a transfer tax of 3% of the property value. The tax base is determined as the greater of two values: the contract price or the DGII appraised value. The tax must be paid within six months of closing. Additionally, notary and registration fees are paid — about 1.5% of the value.
The final transaction amount, including all fees, is calculated individually and communicated before signing the contract.
Annual expenses: property tax (IPI) — 1% of the value exceeding the non-taxable threshold. For a property valued at $319,000, the tax will be approximately $1,360 per year. The HOA fee — to be confirmed with the management company.
Ownership and Transaction Format
Ownership type — freehold. Foreigners may own property in the Dominican Republic without restrictions. The transaction is notarized with registration in the Land Registry. Online viewings and remote closing via power of attorney are possible. Support languages — Spanish, English.

The seller markets the property under the residency-through-investment program. The minimum threshold for the investor program is $200,000 in a local business or financial instruments. For qualified real estate under the CONFOTUR program, the threshold may be $500,000. The property's price ($319,000–$329,000) exceeds the base threshold of $200,000. The question of whether the program terms are met as of the transaction date is addressed in the service footer.

What to Know Before the Transaction
The complex consists of only four apartments, which ensures privacy and low living density. The entire grounds are raised in level for flood protection — an important factor for a coastal area. The presence of a generator, well, and water filtration system makes the property autonomous from municipal networks. When purchasing, be sure to verify clear title and the existence of a deslinde through an independent Dominican lawyer. The transfer tax is calculated on the DGII appraised value, which may differ from the transaction price. For the residency program, make sure the investment is registered and complies with the requirements as of the transaction date.
