  • Who can buy a property in Dominica

    Dominica allows citizens and residents of the country, as well as foreigners, to buy real estate. They can invest in any property on the island.

    Foreigners not participating in the Dominica Citizenship Program are required to obtain a special land ownership licence. Its cost is 10% of the land plot price.

  • Property values by county of Dominica

    The government of Dominica does not publish property price statistics. Real estate experts estimate 1 m² of the island housing at $500—$5,000.

    The most expensive properties are located in the capital city of Roseau, as well as in Portsmouth, Salisbury, and Canefield. The cost per 1 m² in these cities is about 10% higher than the national average. Objects located in coastal resort areas of Dominica are also expensive.

  • Property purchase procedure in Dominica

    The process of buying real estate on the island is standard for Caribbean countries. First, the buyer chooses a property in Dominica and obtains a land ownership licence. For those participating in the citizenship program, a licence isn’t required.

    The parties conclude a preliminary purchase and sale agreement: the buyer pays 10% of the object’s value, and the seller reserves the property. As soon as all the documents are ready, the parties sign the main contract. The buyer transfers the remaining amount, and then receives a certificate of ownership in the state registry of the country.

  • Property purchase taxes in Dominica

    In Dominica, there is no capital gain tax on real estate, ownership transfer, and a single tax. The buyer pays mandatory fees — stamp, legal, and judicial — as well as an insurance fund contribution. Additional expenses for the property buyer are about 10,5% of the transaction amount.
