🇩🇴 Common Mistakes Foreign Buyers Make in the Dominican Republic

Buying property in the Dominican Republic can be an incredible investment—but it’s important to protect yourself throughout the process.

❌ 1. Purchasing without proper due diligence
Don’t rush into a purchase without verifying the property, ownership, title, permits, and any potential issues.

❌ 2. Signing contracts without legal review
A contract may not always protect your best interests. Have a qualified lawyer review the terms before you sign.

❌ 3. Forgetting about additional costs
The purchase price isn’t always the final cost. Be prepared for expenses such as legal fees, property transfer taxes, registration fees, and other closing costs.

Buying in the Dominican Republic? Know your rights. Protect your investment.

A Major Change to Property Gifting in the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴

Did you know that Law 30-26 changed the tax treatment on certain family property donations?

Previously, qualifying property donations could be subject to a 27% donation tax. Under the new Law 30-26, the tax rate for qualifying family transfers can now be aligned with the tax rate of 3%.

This can make a significant difference for families looking to transfer real estate during their lifetime — potentially saving thousands of dollars while creating a more efficient path for passing property from one generation to the next.

🏠 Considering gifting property to a family member?
Understanding the law, the relationship between the parties, and the proper legal structure is essential before making any transfer.

At DR Legal Shield, we help keep you informed about important changes in Dominican law so you can make decisions with confidence.
