Investor FAQ
Can a non-resident own property in Costa Rica?
Yes. Foreigners have the same property ownership rights as Costa Rican citizens for most land. You can hold title in your personal name or via a Costa Rican corporation — the most common structure for international investors.
What rental yields can I expect?
Vacation rentals in proven beach markets like Tamarindo and Santa Teresa commonly produce 8–12% gross annual yields. Long-term residential rentals in Santa Ana and Escazu typically produce 5–7% gross. Both markets have year-round demand from North American visitors and expats.
How are property taxes and capital gains handled?
Property tax is 0.25% of the registered value annually — among the lowest in Latin America. Capital gains tax is 15% on the gain at sale (with a primary-residence exemption available). Rental income is taxed at 15% withheld at source, with deductions available.
Do you help with property management for absentee owners?
Yes. We connect investors with vetted local property management firms that handle vacation rental listings, guest services, maintenance, and tax reporting. Typical management fees are 20–25% of gross rental income.
How long does the closing process take?
Typically 30 to 60 days from accepted offer to closing. The process includes title due diligence (via the National Registry), corporate formation if needed, and notarial deed transfer.
Are there any buyer fees for working with TicaLuxury?
No. Our service is free for buyers. We are compensated by the seller through standard real estate commission, just like in the U.S. or Canada.
