What are the zoning laws and building codes in Costa Rica?
Costa Rica has zoning laws. But typically, San Jose is the only area that has different zones. Most other property is zoned for almost any type of construction. Costa Rica does have fairly stringent building codes, but in some rural areas, these codes are not strictly enforced. There is still a permitting process that is required in Costa Rica. Our recommended builders are familiar with the building codes and will construct your house to the specifications that you direct and in strict accordance with the building codes.
