Property Taxes

Actual real property tax depends on appraised value and whether or not the villa is participating in the Hotel Rental Program

• Villa in Rental Program: Tax 0%
• Villa Outside of Program: First $500,000 Tax at 1%; Above $500,000 Tax at 2%

As an example, a villa selling for $1.5 million would be subject to annual property tax of $25,000 if it is not part of the rental pool.
