We are so lucky to have found Tiffany! We made sort of a knee-jerk decision to move to Belize and we wanted it to happen yesterday. Tiffany played the major part in making our transition seamless, as well as fast! She was always right there to reassure us and guide us through every detail.
I found a listing on her Facebook and she responded to all my questions and concerns in a timely manner, made recommendations for a closing agent, and the documents signing process was very easy as she provided them digitally to be signed digitally. Overall, I had a very positive experience.
Guiding me, providing the necessary information and documents in such an efficient way. She was patient with me throughout the entire process and made sure it all worked out. If you’re looking to buy a property that you will love… She is the best!
Straight answers to what most people ask before they reach out. Have another question? Ask it in the form below.
Yes. Foreign buyers can own freehold property outright, with the same rights as Belizean citizens. There are no limits on the size or type of property, and you don’t need special permits or a local partner. One thing to watch: leasehold (national) land is reserved for Belizeans, so as a foreign buyer you’ll want freehold.
Foreign buyers pay 8% stamp duty on the declared value, with the first BZ$20,000 (US$10,000) exempt. Closing costs, including closing agent or attorney fees and registration, usually add another 1–2%. After that, property tax is low: a yearly tax on the land’s value, not the buildings.
Usually not. Foreign buyers generally can’t borrow from local banks. Most pay cash, which also gives you more bargaining power. Other options include a line of credit or refinancing at home, developer financing on some new developments, or a self-directed 401(k) for investment property.
For a cash purchase, closing usually takes 30–45 days. Once your offer is accepted, you’ll typically put down about 10%, held in escrow until closing. Registering the new title in your name can take longer afterward, depending on the type of title.
It depends on how you want to live. Cayo offers rivers, jungle and more affordable prices. Placencia and Hopkins are quieter beach communities. Ambergris Caye is livelier, with strong rental demand. Corozal is affordable and close to Mexico. Tell me what matters to you and I’ll give you an honest picture of each.
