Can Americans buy property in Nassau Bahamas?
Yes. Americans can own property in Nassau and across The Bahamas. For most single‑family purchases under two acres intended for your own use, you register the acquisition; larger tracts, commercial use, or rental operations may require a permit under the International Persons Landholding Act. I’ll coordinate with your Bahamian attorney to keep everything compliant.

Expect an annual levy based on assessed value, plus one‑time government charges at closing (e.g., VAT/Stamp Duty on conveyance). Exact rates and thresholds change periodically; I’ll provide a current breakdown before you sign.
