Are there any restrictions on foreigners owning properties in Costa Rica?
Foreigners have the same rights as Costa Rican nationals when it comes to owning properties. This is not the case in may other Latin American countries. Regardless, we recommend that you take title to any property purchased via either a Costa Rican corporation (“Sociedad Anonima” or “S.A.”) or limited liability company (“Limitada”). Doing so has tax and other advantages if and when you sell the property. If you have more specific questions, please feel free to send us an email and we will be happy to follow up with you.
