When purchasing real estate in the Dominican Republic, the buyer pays a Transfer Tax of 3% of the property value, calculated on the greater of two figures: the actual sale price or the DGII fiscal appraisal. Notary fees are 0.25–1% of the value. Legal support costs are 1–1.5%. Total closing costs typically amount to 3–5% of the value.
Annual expenses: property tax (IPI) — 1% of the value exceeding the exempt threshold, which is updated annually. For a property valued at $1,250,000, the tax will be calculated on the amount exceeding the threshold. HOA dues — confirmed with the management company.
Ownership Structure and Transaction Format
Form of ownership — freehold. Foreigners have the same rights to purchase real estate as citizens of the Dominican Republic, without the need to obtain permission or residency. Ownership is registered in the Torrens system (Certificado de Título). The transaction can be completed remotely via power of attorney, apostilled in the buyer's country or executed at the Dominican consulate. Online viewings are possible. Support languages — Spanish and English.
If You Are Considering It as an Investment
The seller classifies the property under the residency-by-investment program. In 2026, the minimum investment threshold for the investor program is $200,000 in registered real estate, a business, or financial instruments. For qualified real estate, the threshold may be $500,000. The property price ($1,250,000) exceeds both thresholds. The question of whether the program conditions comply as of the transaction date is noted in the service footer.
The Las Terrenas market shows sustained growth: as of 2026, real estate prices continue to rise, and villas are becoming the preferred format for buyers seeking privacy and income potential.

This Is a Good Fit For
— Buyers seeking a spacious estate with complete privacy and panoramic ocean and mountain views.
— Investors considering a purchase for residency purposes (thresholds of $200,000 or $500,000).
— Those who value autonomy (solar power, private water supply) and on-site staff housing.
This May Not Be a Good Fit For
— If the budget does not account for the annual IPI tax on a property valued at $1,250,000.
— If you are not prepared for additional closing costs (3–5% of the value).
— If you need a newly built property — the year of construction is not stated in the source.
— If you prefer an apartment with lower operating costs — a 16,000 m² estate requires significant upkeep.
What to Know Before the Transaction
A 16,000 m² lot with a solar power system and private water supply implies autonomy but also requires regular technical maintenance. The seller offers financing with a 50% down payment at 8% annual interest over 10 years. When purchasing, be sure to verify clean title through an independent Dominican lawyer. The transfer tax is calculated based on the DGII fiscal appraisal, which may differ from the transaction price. For the residency program, make sure the investment is registered and certified through ProDominicana.
