Costs and tax
Editorial update:
Closing costs, the IPI property tax and HOA: the money that never appears in a render.
In this section
- Closing costs
What closing a Punta Cana purchase costs: 3% transfer tax, legal fees, notary and registry — and how a CONFOTUR project changes it. 2026 orientation, verify per project.
- Property tax (IPI)
IPI is the annual 1% Dominican property tax above an exempt threshold, indexed each year. How it works for foreign owners and when CONFOTUR pauses it. 2026 orientation.
- HOA and maintenance
HOA is the quiet killer of net yield in Punta Cana condos. How resort, masterplan and villa maintenance compare, and what to ask before you buy. 2026 orientation.
2026 orientation, not guarantees and not legal advice. No guaranteed ROI, no invented occupancy.
