The actual transfer of an immovable property must always take place through a notary established on Bonaire. There are two notary offices on the island: notary office Mr. Robin A. Rispens and notary office Mr. . De vastgestelde tarieven zijn bij beide notariskantoren hetzelfde.

For existing homes, the buyer’s costs on Bonaire consist of:

  • Transfer tax 5% or ABB 8%. An 8% ABB must be paid on newly built homes. For other transactions, 5% transfer tax applies. The basis is the market value (usually the selling price). No transfer tax needs to be paid on the value of the movable property, which lowers buyers’ costs.

The calculation of the fee of the Deed of Delivery is a complicated calculation, determined by the Joint Court of Justice. The amounts are derived from the Antillean guilder ($1 = NaF 1.79). Thus the basic rate of $ 446.92 applies over the first NaF 30,000, hence the “special” amounts starting with $ 16,760. If you wish you can calculate the amounts using the table above
