Saint-Martin is a French overseas collectivity. Property is bought under French law, before a notaire, and priced in euros; the Dutch side a few minutes away uses its own law and the US dollar. Marigot is the capital, Grand Case the restaurant town, and Orient Bay the long beach on the Atlantic side where most holiday villas cluster.
Who buys here
French and other European buyers above all, plus North Americans who want the island’s airport and marina on the Dutch side with a French address. Villas in the hills above the bays and apartments near Orient Bay and Anse Marcel make up most of the stock.
What ownership involves
A French purchase follows a fixed sequence: a preliminary contract, a cooling-off period, then signature at the notaire, whose fees and transfer taxes are part of the cost. The island sits in the hurricane belt, and much of it was rebuilt after Hurricane Irma in 2017, so construction date, roof and insurance are practical questions for any building.
What people say about Saint Martin
Summary
French-side purchases run through a French notaire. 2% notary fees plus 8% transfer duties paid to the Collectivité plus EUR 1,000 to 1,500 in registry charges, and says the territory's own tax code makes costs 2 to 3 points higher than mainland France.
Read the full summary
tory's own tax code makes costs 2 to 3 points higher than mainland France. An expat guide instead gives notary fees of 7% to 8% for existing property, and an agency blog says about 10% in total, so the figures disagree and none comes from an official source. An island guide cites a 34% capital gains tax on profitable sales; an agency guide adds annual property taxes and a completion two to three months after the preliminary contract. Insee measured consumer prices 12% above mainland France in 2022, excluding rent, with food 47% higher. Guides say a Carte Vitale covers most medical costs and that the hospital runs its own air ambulance. On Irma, a 2026 guide relays the Court of Accounts finding that less than half of damaged buildings were rebuilt four years on, and an expat guide calls hurricane insurance mandatory at 0.6% to 1% of value a year. A 2019 parliamentary answer notes insurance contracts may cap the period for settlement payments at two years. The same island guide says some condo complexes have been poorly maintained.

Rental income is taxable on both sides. Rates and rules change: confirm them with the Tax Administration or a local adviser before your first guest.
On the French side, a preliminary contract (compromis de vente) is followed by a buyer cooling-off period and completion at the notaire, usually two to three months later, with higher buyer-side costs (notaire fees plus registration taxes) and annual French property taxes thereafter.
On French St Martin transaction costs including transfer fees and notary fees amount to approximately 10%.
Show all 11 quotes
Notary fees represent approximately 7% to 8% of purchase price for existing properties, and 2% to 3% for new construction.
L’écart de prix est particulièrement élevé pour l’alimentation (+47 %).
En 2022, l’écart de prix entre Saint-Martin et la France métropolitaine atteint +12 %. Cet écart masque toutefois des disparités selon les postes de dépenses.
The French health system covers the overwhelming majority of medical costs for cardholders.
Many condominium complexes have not been maintained to the standard their original marketing promised.
Closings are modestly more expensive than on the Dutch side. There is a capital gains tax of 34% on profitable sales, though this can be managed with proper documentation of improvements and maintenance expenses over time.
Au montant du bien acheté, il convient donc d’ajouter 1,2% pour les frais de notaire, 8% pour les droits de mutation versés à la Collectivité et 1000 à 1500 € de frais fixes pour le registre des hypothèques.
En tant que Collectivité, Saint-Martin dispose de son propre code fiscal. Les frais ne sont donc pas basés sur ce qui se pratique ailleurs et sont plus élevé de 2 à 3% qu’en métropole par exemple.
