BUYING OR BUILDING IN COSTA RICA
Being knowledgeable about and adhering to existing protocol and legal requirements is the key to successful Costa Rica property purchases and building projects. Following are a few points to help you get started on the right path.

Before purchasing a Costa Rican property, evaluate the following:
  • Water source
  • Electrical availability
  • Telephone access
  • Easement issues
  • Structural integrity
  • Drainage
Many of these evaluations can be conducted onsite and/or with the Public Registry, Ministry of Public Works, Ministry of Health, National Institute of Housing and Urban Development, and/or the local Municipality office.

Before building on a property in Costa Rica, secure a licensed architect or engineer to:
  • Develop engineered and approved plans
  • Compile a complete materials list
  • Submit an application for a Construction Permit with the local Municipality. (The application must be accompanied by the approved plans and materials list.)
