Costa Rica Real Estate Closing Costs

Closing costs for a sale include a transfer land tax, a stamp tax, and legal fees. Closing costs   typically run 5% to 6% of sales price and are usually split 50/50 between buyer and seller. The transfer and land taxes are assessed based on the declared value, while legal fees are charged based on "sales price" of the property.
