Buying as a Foreigner in Medellín
Foreigners may buy freely
Colombia imposes no restrictions on foreign property ownership. A cédula de extranjería (foreign ID) or passport is sufficient for the purchase.
1% transfer tax + notary fees
Property transfer incurs ~1% in transfer taxes plus notary and registration fees (~0.5%). Total acquisition costs are typically 2–3%.
Capital gains taxed at 10%
Capital gains on property sales are taxed at 10% for individuals. Gains are calculated on the difference between purchase price and sale price.
Currency risk — COP volatility
