Property Investment For potential investors considering real estate in Belize:
Property prices in desirable parts of Belize have been steadily increasing in value for the past 25 years! This means that whatever one buys, they are almost guaranteed a great return.
Belize has a long history of private property ownership rights. Foreign buyers are able to purchase real estate in Belize unrestricted; meaning they have the same rights to own freehold property title deeds as a Belizean, so there are no special permissions or permits required. Whether you’re a local or a foreigner, the Government of Belize collects a Transfer Tax fee of 5% of the purchase price whenever title is transferred from one owner(s) to the next. There is no capital gains tax and no inheritance tax in Belize. Thus, if you sell or will your property in Belize neither you nor your beneficiaries will suffer taxation upon the disposal of your Belizean real estate asset(s).
