Frequently Asked Questions

The most popular areas for real estate in the Dominican Republic include Punta Cana and Bavaro on the east coast, Sosua and Cabarete on the north coast, Las Terrenas on the Samana Peninsula, and the capital city of Santo Domingo. Each area offers a different lifestyle and price range, from luxury resort living to laid-back beach communities. Our buying guide can help you narrow down the right location for your needs.
Yes. The Dominican Republic charges an annual property tax called the IPI (Impuesto al Patrimonio Inmobiliario) at a rate of 1% on the combined value of your real estate holdings above the exemption threshold. Properties with a total assessed value below that threshold are exempt entirely. Properties in CONFOTUR-approved developments can receive up to 15 years of exemption from both annual property tax and the 3% transfer tax.
While it is not legally required to hire a lawyer, it is strongly recommended. A qualified Dominican real estate attorney will conduct a title search, verify that the property has a valid Certificate of Title, review the sales contract, and handle the transfer registration. Given that the legal system operates in Spanish and follows civil law principles that differ from common law countries, having local legal representation protects your interests throughout the process.
The Dominican Republic offers a stable legal framework for property investment. The country uses a Torrens title system under Law 108-05, which provides registered owners with strong title protection. Foreigners receive the same ownership rights as Dominican citizens, and there are no restrictions on repatriating rental income or sales proceeds. The country has also maintained consistent economic growth and record tourism arrivals, both of which support long-term real estate demand. For more on safety, see our guide to safety in the DR.
DRListings.com features a wide range of property types across the Dominican Republic, including villas, condos and apartments, undeveloped land, and commercial real estate. You can search by location, property type, price range, and features to find listings that match your goals — whether you are looking for a vacation home, a rental investment, or a permanent residence.
Yes. The Dominican Republic grants foreigners the same property ownership rights as Dominican citizens. You can purchase land, condos, villas, or commercial properties in your own name with full fee-simple title — no special permits, local partners, or government approval required. For a step-by-step walkthrough of the buying process, see our guide to buying property in the DR.
No. There is no residency or visa requirement to purchase property. You can buy real estate on a tourist visa, and the process typically takes 30 to 60 days from offer to title registration. In fact, owning property can actually help you qualify for Dominican residency if you choose to apply later. Our buying guide covers the full process.
Budget approximately 3.5% to 5% of the purchase price in total closing costs. The largest component is the 3% property transfer tax, assessed on the government-appraised value. Legal fees for title search, documentation, and attorney services typically add 1% to 1.5%. There is no VAT on residential property transfers. Properties in CONFOTUR-approved projects may be exempt from the transfer tax entirely.
