AyA municipal connection, well permits, electrical service availability, and road access verification.

Topography & Access

Slope analysis, buildable area, road frontage, and any easements that limit usability.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about buying land in Costa Rica.

Can foreigners legally own land in Costa Rica?
Yes. Foreigners have the same property ownership rights as Costa Rican citizens, including full titled ownership registered in the National Registry.
What is the difference between titled land and concession land?
Titled land is privately owned and fully registered. Concession land (usually beachfront) is leased from the government and has additional restrictions. We help clients understand both before purchasing.
What due diligence should I do before buying land?
Key checks include zoning (uso de suelo), water availability (AyA or well), access, utilities, topography, environmental restrictions, and legal title verification.
How do I know if I can build on the land?
Each property depends on zoning, permits, and infrastructure. Some land is build-ready, while others require approvals. We guide you through feasibility before purchase.
How long does the buying process take?
Most transactions close within 30–60 days depending on due diligence, escrow setup, and legal review.
Are there financing options for land in Costa Rica?
Financing is limited, but some sellers offer owner financing. Most purchases are cash-based. We help structure deals when possible.
What are closing costs when buying land?
Closing costs typically range from 2.5% to 4% of the purchase price, including legal fees, transfer tax, and registration.
Can you help with development after purchase?
Yes. We offer A-to-Z support including project planning, connecting with architects and builders, budgeting, and development strategy.
Is land a good investment in Costa Rica?
In strong locations, land offers excellent upside through development, resale, or long-term appreciation — especially in growing coastal markets.
Do you have access to off-market land deals?
Yes. Through our network, we often source off-market opportunities not publicly listed, especially for developers and serious investors.
What areas in Costa Rica are best for buying land?
Top areas include Santa Teresa, Golfito, Pavones, and emerging coastal regions with strong tourism and development growth.
