When buying real estate in the Dominican Republic, the buyer pays a 3% transfer tax on the property value. The tax base is determined as the greater of two values: the contract price or the DGII appraised value. For a property valued at $179,000, the tax will be $5,370. Notary and registration fees are paid additionally.
The final transaction amount including all fees is calculated individually and communicated before signing the contract.
Annual costs: property tax (IPI) — 1% of the value exceeding the exempt threshold. In 2026, the threshold is RD$10,695,494 (about $182,000). Since the apartment's value ($179,000) is below the threshold, IPI does not apply. Monthly maintenance — $200, including water supply, garbage collection, maintenance of common areas, and structural insurance of the building.
Paperwork and Transaction Format
Form of ownership — freehold. Foreigners can purchase real estate in the Dominican Republic. The transaction is notarized with registration in the Land Registry. Online viewings and remote closing by power of attorney are possible. Support languages — Spanish, English.
If You Are Considering It as an Investment
The seller attributes the property to the residence-by-investment program. The minimum threshold for the investor program is $200,000. The apartment's price ($179,000) is below the established threshold, so it does not qualify for the residence permit program under the standard procedure. Property ownership by itself does not grant the right to long-term residence.
Prados de Punta Cana is a district with developed infrastructure and stable rental demand. A two-bedroom apartment close to the beaches can be used for long-term or seasonal rental. Comparable properties in Bávaro show rental potential of about $1,500 per month for long-term contracts. Rental income is taxed in the Dominican Republic. The source contains no data on declared yield.
