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.

Emory King wrote these 10 reasons to live in Belize:
1. Everyone speaks English.
2. English law.
3. Proximity to the United States (it's a two-hour-flight from Miami or Houston).
4. Belize is the healthiest country in Central American or the Caribbean. There are more than 100 doctors, a hospital in every town, and three big hospitals in Belize City. You can fly Wings of Hope to Mexico in case of serious problems. A medivac plane from Miami can be here in two hours.
5. We have slightly over 300,000 people in a country the size of Massachusetts, so there is plenty of elbow room.
6. Education is excellent and based on British and American standards. We have universities as well as high schools and junior colleges.
7. These are some of the friendliest people in the world. In Belize there are six different cultures, with eight different languages. Yet we have no racial discrimination, no religious intolerance, and no political violence. Show me another country like that.
8. We have satellite hook-ups for phones and the Internet.
9. The climate is mild, subtropical year round. It rains from June to December, but there are no monsoon rains. We have hurricanes, now and then-eight in total in the 20th century.
10. There are attractive retiree incentives. To qualify, you must be 45 years of age or older and you must lodge $2,000 a month in a Belize Bank (and spend it in Belize, we hope). You may not work under the law, but you may own a business and watch us work. You can also import a car, an airplane, and a boat duty free. There will be no income tax on your pension or other sources of income. You can also bring in all your - household goods and personal effects duty free.
