Can foreigners buy property in Costa Rica?
Yes. Foreign buyers hold the same ownership rights as Costa Rican citizens over titled (fee simple) property, with no residency requirement. The main exception is the maritime zone along the coast, where the first 50 metres from the high tide line is public land and the next 150 metres is normally held on concession rather than owned outright, with limits on foreign-held concessions. Always have a Costa Rican lawyer check the title and its registry entry before you commit.
Is beachfront property in Tamarindo freehold?
It depends where the boundary falls. Property set back from the maritime zone is held outright like anywhere else; property inside it is usually a concession from the local municipality, with its own renewal terms and restrictions. We tell you which you are looking at before you view, and your lawyer confirms it against the registry.
