Real costs of buying property in the Dominican Republic
The purchase price is only one number. Buyers also pay taxes, legal work, registration steps, and, if they borrow, the costs the bank puts in the offer. This note repeats what official tax pages state about the transfer tax and then lists other costs you should confirm case by case. We do not quote legal fees as a percentage because those are private quotes, not a rate published by the tax office.
