Can non-Belizeans own and hold free title to land in Belize?
Yes, foreigners can own land in Belize. You do not need a Belizean partner. You can receive clear title. There are a few different historical types of title. The Belize government has begun a program to research all title histories and resurvey lands starting in certain “designated areas”. The plan is to update all title work in these areas and issue new, completely researched and clearly described titles. This new form of title is called” Land Certificate” and presides overall past documents. Buying or selling a property in Land Certificate status should be faster and less complicated than with prior forms of title. Designated areas include Placencia, Hopkins, Sittee River, Cayo and Belmopan.
