FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS BY THOSE INTERESTED IN BUYING LAND IN BELIZE (All $ amounts are in US Dollars)
ALL LAND PARCELS OFFERED BY THE SELLER COME WITH A “TRADE IN OPTION”…….. At any time during the course of your land contract you will have the option of exchanging your land parcel for any other land parcel that is offered by the Seller.
100% of the principle paid in will be credited toward the down payment of any other parcel that may be available. You may upgrade, downgrade, even change to a different district, or a different type of property. New properties are constantly coming available.
- What are the real estate tax’s in Belize?
Very Economical. Seafront commands the most - $50.00 per acre per year for each acre within ½ mile of the sea. A 2 acre seafront parcel will be $100. per year, a half acre parcel, $25. Per year, etc. Off water properties, less than 30 acres , and more than ½ mile from the sea, are only 50cents per acre per year. 31 acres up to 300 acres are $2.50 per acre per year.
Currently there is a land tax only, with no additional tax when you have a home on the land.
- What are closing costs?
During the course of the contract there are no extra charges. You pay the down payment, enter into the land contract and commence monthly payments. At the time that you have the land paid in full, you will pay the Government of Belize a conveyance transfer tax of 5% of the purchase price of the land, with the first $10,000. Being exempt. Example: purchase a property for $19,995. – the conveyance tax is calculated on $9,995. The conveyance tax is $499.75, paid to the government of Belize at the time the transfer is done. In addition there is a $15.00 recording fee for the new land certificate that has been issued in your name.
There is no capital gains tax here. The conveyance tax at the time you purchase is all there is.
- Do I need an Attorney to purchase land?
Many Attorneys are available here to help you with your purchase, they generally charge 2% of the purchase price of the land. The Country of Belize recently went through a simplification of the land recording and ownership process in portions of the Country. These are referred to as “registered areas”. If the land you are buying is within a registered area, it is a very simple process for you to view the register and know if the land you are considering is owned outright, and if it has any mortgages or encumbrances on it. If the land is not within a registered area, it is a bit more complicated process and would be worth your while to retain the services of a title searcher which average $200.00. Belize Title Insurance is available for 2% of the land cost.
- How long will I have to take advantage of the “trade- in Option”
This can be done at any time prior to the land being paid in full and the land certificate being recorded into the Buyers name. Many people purchase a land parcel without coming to Belize to view it first. This option allows them the flexibility of checking out many different areas of the country and many different types of land (mountains, inland water, seafront, etc.)
- What is Belize like?
It’s like stepping back in time 50 years. Most of the roads are gravel, the pace is slow, most business’s will close down for the mid day lunch hour and at noon on Saturday, staying closed until Monday morning. The weather is magnificent and the country is Beautiful. It’s nickname of “The Jewel” is certainly justified. The population is diversified, a wonderful opportunity to meet people from all over the world. There are 12 Mennonite Communities throughout the Country that grow most of the food that we enjoy and export.

Life’s A Beach in Belize
Ecotourism and oceanfront main attractions
Nestled in the Caribbean, Belize’s barrier reef, the second-largest in the world, and Mayan ruins are drawing tourists and property buyers. A growing eco-tourism sector and English-speaking populace add to the attraction.
Where is it? Belize is a small Central American country on the Caribbean Sea, bordered by Mexico and Guatemala.
What’s so special about it?
The country was previously known as British Honduras until 1973. It gained independence in 1981, after more than a century as a British colony, but remains part of the Commonwealth and English is its official language. Two-thirds of the country is covered in lush forests and the 386
kilometer coastline is guarded by a barrier reef. With a population just under 300,000, Belize was named “the best long-range investment site in the Caribbean” by Caribbean Dateline Magazine.
Best-kept secrets Belize has strived to develop its eco-tourism market. Its jungles and reefs are home to a diverse array of flora and fauna, including endangered species such as the manatee and jaguar. Tourism is now the second-biggest industry in the country, accounting for 18% of GDP.
- What can I expect for Development Costs?
- Water: In most of the Villages and Towns there is a central water supply system that you can connect to. This is a minimal cost and your water bills run $5.-$10. Per month. If you are not within the developed Village or Town area, then you would drill your own well or catch water off your roof, storing it in water tanks. We have a drilled well with a wonderful yield. It was drilled by a Mennonite Drilling Company, is 26 feet deep with 6” casing. Today’s pricing for this would be one side or another of $700. This requires a ½ HP jet pump to draw the water out of the well. You can bring one in or buy one locally. Those without power use a windmill to draw the water up.
- Septic: Is by individual systems, you can make it as simple or complex as you like. Most homes use a perforated 55 gallon drum, perforated. Larger usage systems are a concrete tank with a soak-away. Many homeowners are still quite happy utilizing the outhouse in the back yard, rather than opting for indoor plumbing.
- Electric: Is now available in most of the Villages. In the outlying areas it more than likely will not be available and anything labeled as pre-development, will not have electricity extended to it yet. Many people are building utilizing wind and solar power even if they are on the grid. The electric usage charges are on the high side, about 20-25cents per kilowatt hour, depending on the usage (the more you use, the higher the rate). The local provider is Belize Electricity Limited.
- How much will it cost to rent a place to live?
Every level of accommodation is available. You can rent a local home, unfurnished from as little as $150. per month. For an American Style apartment or condo you can expect to pay from $600 –$1,200. Per month depending on it’s location, if it is furnished, if it includes electric, propane gas, water, exterior maintenance, etc.
There is a good rental website that is just getting started. Check out: www.rentals.bz
- Is there internet service available?
Yes, wireless internet and cell phones are everywhere. We pay $28.00 per month for unlimited internet access, after purchasing a modem for $110.00, and paying a $88.00 security deposit, refundable after a one year term. There are cell towers throughout the country.
- Are there Building restrictions or zoning requirements?
You can pretty much build what you want – any size, any shape, concrete, wood, pimento or thatch. People build small here, as it’s mostly outdoor living. They are just now starting a building permit requirement in the more populated areas, so it’s good to inquire about each specific area before commencing the structure. Belize has adapted the BOCA building code of the US for electrical service and installations, but for the basic structure, you can still Dream It and Do It on most of the properties offered for sale.
