Belize private island and Belize beachfront property values have been on a steady increase for the past 25+ years. This means to you, as either an investor or someone that wants to retire to their piece of paradise, that no matter how large or small you buy it can only increase in value. Present Belize property values are appreciating at a rate of 25-30% per year. Beachfront land that could be purchased just a few years ago at $1000 per linear beach foot is now going for $3000+ per foot and some at $10,000(as of January 2008).
First and foremost there is NO CAPITAL GAINS TAX in Belize. You may be responsible for taxes back in your homeland but no capital gains tax will be charged when you sell your property in Belize.
Anyone can purchase and hold title to property in Belize just as easily as a Belizean. Nothing special is needed, only a Government Stamp Transfer Tax is paid when you complete the purchase. If you are purchasing a registered Chapter 250 Belize Corporation that holds the property there is NO GOVERNMENT STAMP TRANSFER TAX. Just pay the legal fees necessary to transfer ownership of the Corporation and you own the Belize property and the Corporation.
We will always advise you to retain either an attorney or paralegal to do a title search to ensure that you are buying what you think you are buying. This is suggested in any country that you attempt to purchase property in. This will ensure that the title to the Belize property is free and clear of all liens, judgments, or encumbrances. US Title insurance can also be purchased.
When you find something you want you will need to provide an earnest money deposit that will be held in escrow by Crystal Dolphin Holdings, Inc. our parent company before your offer can be submitted to the seller. This deposit can be as low as 1% and up to 10%. 10% is always recommended. This insures your interest and willingness to purchase.
All in all Belize is a wonderful country to invest in and the government wants you too. Please visit our about Belize Shores Realty page and email or give us a call.

Not only is Belize a growing tourism destination, but the country also has a government that is fully committed to the ongoing development of economic programs and policies that will ensure an atmosphere conducive for local and foreign investment. Various incentives are available to investors who are committed to the development of the tourism sector. In recent years, various levels of investments have produced significant growth in tourism.
International investors find that Belize provides stability (fixed exchange rate and democratic system) and profitability (flexible fiscal incentives and concessions).
The tourism industry is currently the single largest employer and contributor to economic growth, accounting for approximately 18% of the total GDP. Its actual contribution to the economy is greater, particularly when its indirect impacts are taken into account.
The Government of Belize is keen on developing new partnerships and alliances with both local and foreign investors in various sectors of the tourism industry.
