What people say about Dominican Republic

Sources agree on the core of buying in the Dominican Republic: foreigners, including non-residents, can generally own registered property on the same terms as Dominicans, but the buyer's own checks do the protecting.

  • Mixed Hire your own independent Dominican lawyer and check the title (and deslinde) yourself
  • Concern Pre-construction projects can stall or lapse; deposits and CONFOTUR claims need verifying
  • Mixed Closing costs and annual tax: 3% transfer tax, legal fees, IPI above a threshold, CONFOTUR exemptions
  • Concern Property managers: fees vary widely and owner experiences are uneven
