‘Property in the Maritime Zone
2007-10-19 13:56:00
Terrestrial Zone (“ZMT”) refers to the state-owned, 200 meter strip of land along the shore — measured from the “average high tide” — administered by the local Municipality and the ICT. The Maritime Zone Law was established in 1977. It describes the ZMT as having two parts. The first 50 meters is the “public zone” and cannot be built upon or claimed. The next 150 meters is the “restricted zone.” This area can be legally acquired by private citizens by applying for the rights before the Municipality through a “concession application.” Submission of this application gives you the right of occupation, called Permiso de Uso. This is an “interim right” of ownership, good until proper zoning and concessions come through down the road. You now have the right to occupy the land and build a temporary structure. But note that each Muni applies these rules differently. In the past many pre-concession ZMT occupants have...

Buying Property Safely in Costa Rica
2007-10-19 13:46:00
Buying Prop erty Safely in Costa Rica     Sometimes one hears that “buying titled land in Costa Rica is very different from the way it works ‘back home.” Wrong answer! Assuming of course that home is the US, Europe, or Canada. Such a statement probably means that the person dispensing the advice is, at best, not a real estate professional, or, at worst, may have ulterior motives. That’s because the truth is that the process of buying real estate here should very closely mirror the way it happens “back home.” Of course, the languages will vary, as well as the letter of the local laws. But what really matters is that the legal principles associated with a safe purchase—and the procedures designed to protect them — are indeed very similar. Before we turn to the legal principles, hovering over them all is the requirement of transparency. This is the key to any reputable deal. Everything good, bad or indifferent about the property should be disclosed by the sellers and ...

Costa Rica is a Central American tourist destination which is famous for its scenic locales such as beaches, mountains, rivers and forest area that is full of lush greenery. It is generally known that the main income of this region is from the tourism industry, which helps in generating more than $ 1.7 billion per year. Apart from this, Costa Rica has had pharmaceuticals, electronics, outsourcing and IT industries build operations there, including Intel and Proctor & Gamble.  The fact that these blue chip companies selected Costa Rica speaks volumes about its peaceful tradition of democracy and                non-aggress ion. Costa Rica’s lands and beaches are ideal for eco-tourism and reforestation, both of which present huge opportunities for investment purposes since the government promotes them.  Foreigners who start eco-tourism or reforestation projects receive “fast track” approval for official residency, as well as other benefits.  Due to the natura...

Benefits of Buying Real Estate in Costa Rica
2007-10-17 13:11:00
The Republic of Costa Rica is an amazing place to live in. The country is experiencing major development under the presidency of Nobel Peace Prize winner Oscar Arias. Costa Rica stands out among the Latin countries, including even Chile, Mexico and Brazil.  According to most sources, Costa Rica has the premier reputation for safety and democracy in the region.  For example, in the global rankings of democracies recently published by the Economist, only 28 nations were considered full democracies.  And of all the nations in Latin America and the Caribbean, only Costa Rica made the list (and Uruguay, which was last).  Even Chile was deemed a “flawed democracy.”  And the “ticos,” as the citizens call themselves with pride,  recently justified the honor by approving CAFTA in a national referendum.    In addition, Costa Rica did very well in the Economist’s 2007 “business risk of investing” survey.  It came in at 33rd in the world, out of  ov...
