Buying property in Punta Uva: common questions
For international buyers
Can foreigners buy property in Punta Uva?
Yes. In Punta Uva, foreign buyers have the same ownership rights as Costa Rican citizens over titled (fee-simple) property — you can own it outright in your own name, with no residency requirement. The one exception is beachfront inside the Maritime Zone.
How much does it cost to buy in Punta Uva?
Asking prices in Punta Uva currently run from $135,000 to $399,000, with a median of $247,500 (about $2,496/m²). There are 17 homes listed for sale right now.
Is beachfront property in Punta Uva titled or concession?
It depends how close to the water it sits. The first 50 metres from the high-tide line is public zone and can never be owned. From 50 to 200 metres is concession land, leased from the municipality for a 5-to-20-year term (renewable). The law restricts these concessions heavily for foreigners: a foreigner with under five years' residency cannot be granted a concession, and neither can a company that is more than 50% foreign-owned. Property outside the Maritime Zone in Punta Uva can be fee-simple (titled) and owned outright — but confirm the title and any encumbrances for each parcel in the Registro Nacional.
Do I need residency to buy in Punta Uva?
No. You can buy titled property without any residency or citizenship. An investment of $150,000 or more in property (a threshold temporarily reduced from $200,000) can, in fact, qualify you to apply for temporary residency as an investor.
What taxes will I pay owning property in Punta Uva?
A one-time 1.5% transfer tax at purchase, charged on the higher of the sale price and the registered fiscal value; then an annual property tax of 0.25% of registered value. Homes whose construction value exceeds the yearly luxury-home threshold (₡143 million for 2026, about $270,000) also pay the annual Solidarity — "luxury home" — tax on a sliding scale.
Should I hold title personally or through a company?
Both are common. Many buyers hold property in a Costa Rican corporation (S.A. or S.R.L.) for estate-planning and liability reasons; others hold it personally. A local attorney can advise which fits your situation.
What does the buying process look like in Punta Uva?
A licensed notary (who in Costa Rica must be an attorney) handles the transfer and registers it with the Registro Nacional. Budget roughly 3.5–4% of the price for closing costs (transfer tax, legal fees and stamps). Buyers commonly use an escrow service — verify its SUGEF registration, which is anti-money-laundering oversight, not a guarantee of the funds.
What kinds of property are for sale in Punta Uva?
Right now, Punta Uva listings for sale are mostly lots / land (11). Use the type filter to see only houses, apartments, lots or commercial units.
