In the Dominican Republic, real estate legal compliance and documentation are crucial to ensuring secure transactions for both property buyers and sellers. Having local expertise and legal guidance is essential when investing abroad; following these steps will help you prevent potential risks and ensure that transactions adhere to Dominican regulations.

- Title Verification – Confirming that the property title is clear and free of liens or encumbrances. Titles are registered with the Title Registry Office, and verification is necessary to protect the buyer.

- Due Diligence – Conducting a thorough check of the property's history, zoning compliance, and legal status. This includes reviewing any existing debts or disputes attached to the property.

​

- Sales Contract Preparation – Drafting contracts that outline the terms of the
transaction, including price, payment terms, and property description. Contracts must comply with Dominican property laws to be valid.

- Tax Compliance – Ensuring all property taxes, such as the Transfer Tax on Real Estate and Property Tax, are up-to-date and properly filed with the General Directorate of Internal Taxes (DGII).

- Notary and Registration – Real estate transactions must be notarized and
registered for legal recognition. Notaries ensure authenticity, and the transaction must be recorded with the Title Registry Office to complete the ownership transfer.
