If you dream of building your own home on Bonaire, it often starts with finding the right building lot or land for sale on Bonaire. It is important to understand what is involved in buying and owning land on the island. Whether you are looking to buy or sell a parcel of land, there are different types of land ownership and regulations to consider. <\/p>\n

On Bonaire, there are two main types of land ownership: freehold land and long lease land.<\/span><\/p>\n One important detail that is sometimes overlooked is that undeveloped long lease land cannot be transferred. If the land has been developed, the long lease right can be transferred, but prior approval from the Public Entity Bonaire (OLB) is required. This is important to keep in mind when buying or selling long lease land on Bonaire. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/harbourtownbonaire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/4ppxpf5-true-media-culture-14-300×225.jpg” alt=”Aerial of plots and building land on Bonaire – for sale at Harbourtown Real Estate” title_text=”Plots and building land” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” url=”https:\/\/harbourtownbonaire.com\/en\/long-lease-land\/” url_new_window=”on” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The value of land or a building lot on Bonaire depends on several factors, including location, size, zoning and market demand. The Caribbean Netherlands Tax Administration has published an overview of land prices on Bonaire (click here<\/a><\/span>). This provides an indication of land values in different parts of the island. <\/span><\/p>\n However, the map dates from early 2019 and therefore no longer reflects current market conditions. Based on current market prices, land prices are now considerably higher. In many locations, prices have at least doubled and in some cases have increased even more. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/harbourtownbonaire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Grondprijzen-Bonaire.jpg” alt=”Prices of plots and building land on Bonaire according to local tax office "Belastingdienst CN"” title_text=”Prices of plots and uilding land on Bonaire” url=”https:\/\/www.belastingdienst-cn.nl\/documenten\/brochures-en-formulieren\/belastingdienst\/vgb\/grondprijzen\/grondprijzen-bonaire” url_new_window=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Whether you are buying or selling land, an accurate valuation is important. A professional real estate agent can help determine the market value of a building lot based on factors such as location, zoning, size and current market conditions. This reduces the risk of paying too much when buying or setting the asking price too low when selling. <\/p>\n <\/span>Read more about this in our blog about appraisals<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,2_3″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/harbourtownbonaire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/74.jpg” alt=”Plots and building land on Bonaire, direct oceanfront freehold land” title_text=”Oceanfront lot” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” url=”https:\/\/harbourtownbonaire.com\/en\/properties\/?widget_id=11&kind=0&sf_multiple_property_type=14&sf_unit_price=260&sf_min_price=0&sf_max_price=999999999999″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n An experienced real estate agent understands the local market, zoning regulations and procedures involved in transferring land. For this reason, working with a local real estate agent can be valuable when looking for land for sale on Bonaire or when selling your property. <\/span><\/p>\n At Harbourtown Real Estate, we guide you throughout the entire process: from finding a suitable building lot and evaluating the asking price to negotiating and finalizing the purchase agreement.

Location, zoning, accessibility and development possibilities all play an important role. <\/span><\/p>\n It is therefore important to investigate in advance what can be built on a particular parcel of land and which conditions apply. An attractively located building lot is not necessarily suitable for every type of development. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/harbourtownbonaire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-10-02-at-10.36.20-AM-5.jpeg” alt=”New construction on Bonaire – building on your own plots and building land on Bonaire” title_text=”Villa under construction” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” url=”https:\/\/harbourtownbonaire.com\/en\/properties\/?widget_id=11&kind=0&sf_multiple_property_type=14&sf_unit_price=260&sf_min_price=0&sf_max_price=999999999999″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Would you like to buy, sell or have land on Bonaire appraised?
