Real-Estate & Beach-Front properties:
All individuals and private companies, local or foreign, can own land and property in Costa Rica. There are some excellent Real Estate that can be found all over Costa Rica and in the last years a lot of foreign investors, especially from U.S. Canada & Europe (Italy ,Swiss ,Nederland, France and more) found their opportunity in real estate in Costa Rica. Most popular areas are at the Pacific side of the country shore.
At 1972 the government of Costa-Rica, passed a law, which established legal parameters that regulated ownership rights within these ocean front properties.
These new rules,
encompassed all property along Costa Rica’s entire coastline.
These legal parameters and decree established , that:
●
All the
ocean front properties (the coastline), would
have a public and inalienable zone, which would
always remain accessible to the public & All
beaches would remain public forever.
● No new development or structures would be
permitted in this zone.
This zone is commonly referred to as, the "50 meter
inalienable zone” (measures 50 Meters inland from
mean high tide).
●
The law further states, that
the next 150 meters
inland from this 50 meter, will be a land area that
can be developed, but with certain construction
guidelines, ecological sensitivity, and specified
zoning. This 150 meter area, is referred to in legal
terms as the “Zona Maritima Terrestre” ("Maritime
Zone"), which is according to a zoning plan -
The “Plan Regulador” ("Regulatory Plan").
Where this plan exists in the coastal property
areas, construction is permitted.
Our Ocean / Beach-Front lots at the
"
parcela de Dios" projectin Santa-Teresa, are under the
"Regulatory Plan" ( see →).
