Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions we hear most often from buyers considering Punta Cana.
Can foreigners buy property in Punta Cana?
Yes. The Dominican Republic has no restrictions on foreign buyers — you can own a property with the same rights as a Dominican citizen, with no residency status or special permit required.
What taxes and fees should I expect when buying?
Budget for around 3% transfer tax plus 1-1.5% in legal and administrative fees. Many new developments also qualify for CONFOTUR benefits, which exempt buyers from the transfer tax and annual property tax for up to 15 years.
Did capital gains tax change in 2026?
Yes. As of June 2026 (Law 30-26), individual sellers now pay a flat 10% tax on the profit from a property sale, down from up to 25% previously. The mortgage registration tax is also being phased down and is scheduled to be eliminated entirely by 2028.
Can I get a mortgage in the Dominican Republic as a foreigner?
Yes, both residents and non-residents can secure financing through local banks, typically at 50-80% loan-to-value. Many buyers, however, choose to pay in cash or refinance a property in their home country instead.
How long does the buying process take?
From reservation to final title transfer, it typically takes a few weeks to a few months, depending on financing and due diligence. We guide you through every step of the process.
Is investing in Punta Cana safe?
Punta Cana is one of the most established and well-developed regions in the Dominican Republic, backed by steady tourism demand and a growing real estate market. As with any investment, we recommend thorough due diligence — which we handle on your behalf.
Should I buy or rent first?
It depends on your goals: buying offers appreciation potential and full control, while renting offers more flexibility and lower upfront costs. We’re happy to talk through which option fits your situation.
Which areas are most popular with buyers?
Bávaro, Cap Cana, Vista Cana, and Cocotal are among the most sought-after areas — ranging from lively beachfront neighborhoods to quiet, gated golf communities. We can help you find the area that matches your lifestyle.
Do I need to travel to the Dominican Republic to complete the purchase?
Not necessarily. Many buyers complete the transaction remotely by granting power of attorney to a trusted local attorney, who handles the closing on their behalf. That said, visiting to view the property in person is always recommended.
What is due diligence, and is it really necessary?
Due diligence confirms a property’s title is clean — free of liens, unpaid taxes, or ownership disputes — before you sign anything. It’s a standard, essential step in every purchase, and we make sure it’s completed thoroughly before you commit.
Can I rent out my property when I'm not using it?
Yes. Punta Cana’s strong, year-round tourism demand makes short-term and vacation rentals a popular way to generate income from a property, whether managed yourself or through a property management company.
Do I have to pay a commission as a buyer?
No. Real estate commissions in the Dominican Republic are paid by the seller, not the buyer — so working with an agent costs you nothing extra.
What happens to my property if something happens to me?
Property can be inherited by your heirs under Dominican law, and the inheritance tax rate is a relatively low 3% of the estate’s assessed value. We recommend speaking with an estate planner if you have specific concerns about how ownership should pass on.
Is Punta Cana a good place to visit before buying?
Absolutely — and we’d encourage it. Many buyers combine a vacation with property viewings, letting them experience the area, the beaches, and the lifestyle firsthand before making a decision.
