I am buying a house in the Dominican Republic from my parents. It is a personal sale, no mortgage involved. I am just paying my father directly on a monthly basis. We would like to look into transfering the title into my name. How do we start this process and approximately how much does it cost and what kind of percentages do you have to pay in taxes to the DR government. Is there anyway to avoid the sales tax since it is a family transaction?
