What it costs to buy in Costa Rica
Budget 3.8% on top of the asking price
transfer tax, registration stamps, notary fees.
No licence needed to buy as a foreigner

The one real exception is the maritime zone — the first 200 metres from the high-tide line, which is held under concession rather than freehold and carries its own restrictions on foreign participation.
