Sint Maarten Real Estate Acquisition Rules

Property conveyancing in Sint Maarten operates under civil law traditions codified in the Burgerlijk Wetboek and fiscal decrees:

  • Overdrachtsbelasting (Transfer Tax - 4.0%): Governed by the Landsverordening op de overdrachtsbelasting. A flat 4% transfer tax is levied on the registered real estate purchase price or market value, payable by the purchaser.
  • Civil Law Notary Requirement: Title deeds in Sint Maarten can only be legally drafted and executed by an officially sworn Civil Law Notary (notaris). The statutory notary tariff for the deed of conveyance (leveringsakte) ranges between 1.5% and 2.0% plus 5.0% TOT.
  • Kadaster Registry: The deed must be recorded at the Kadaster en Hypotheekwezen of Sint Maarten to secure legal ownership against third parties (ANG 950.00 fee).
  • Foreign Ownership: Sint Maarten imposes no restrictions on foreign nationals buying property, and both freehold (eigendom) and long-lease (erfpacht) rights are constitutionally protected.
