What people say about Cayman Islands

Sources agree that buying in Grand Cayman is tax-light but not cheap to live with.

  • Concern Cayman is among the most expensive places to live; imports and housing drive it
  • Positive No annual property, capital gains or inheritance tax; one-time stamp duty is the main purchase cost (7.5%, 10% above CI$2m from 2026)
  • Mixed Permanent residency by property needs CI$2m of developed real estate and is quota-limited; a cheaper 25-year certificate carries no right to work
  • Mixed Strata fees are a material carrying cost, higher on Seven Mile Beach
