Good to know

Questions from international buyers

Yes. Foreign nationals hold the same ownership rights as Dominicans, and you do not need residency to buy or hold title.

It is a tourism-incentive framework that can grant qualifying properties tax benefits, including exemption from transfer tax and a multi-year exemption from annual property tax. We confirm eligibility for your specific unit.

No. With a power of attorney we can run due diligence, sign and register the transfer on your behalf, so you can close remotely.

The main options are the SRL, SA, EIRL and SAS. The right one depends on your goals, number of partners and tax profile — we advise and then register it for you.

A standard purchase involves a transfer tax plus registration and legal fees; CONFOTUR properties may be exempt. We give you a clear cost breakdown before you commit.

The developer's counsel represents the developer. LexAid represents only you — verifying title, protecting your deposit and making sure the contract works in your favor.
