You need to pay your Belize property taxes with the Land Department in the town (or closest town if the property is in a Village, for instance) to where the property is located. Anyone can do this for you as long as they have your parcel number, ... Read More

Pepperoni's is my favorite pizza on the island. Both Mr. Greedy's and Yoli's make very good pizza in San Ignacio. Driftwoods in Hopkins is by far my most favorite anywhere in Belize. I find the pizza here is different than the U.S. The sauce ... Read More

Gerry, the answer to that question depends on the Residency program you are in. This is exactly the kind of thing I help my clients with. Read More

I moved here over two years ago and have honestly never felt like a foreigner a day I've been here-I now call Belize my home, not the U.S. Maybe it's because I made a point of befriending the locals, learning and accepting their culture, and always ... Read More

Pat, is your land on the ocean or lagoon side of the island? Wood stilt homes are very popular on the back side of the island - I lived in one up North. The San Pedrito area where a lot of locals live back by the lagoon use that type of construction ... Read More

Betty, if you're asking whether your Canadian pension will be taxed in Belize, the answer is no. Read More

Hi Toni!! Nice to hear from you. Thanks for all the kind words. Sorry you won't be calling Belize home any time soon, but hope we can stay in touch and all is well. Take care, Sharon Read More

Just make sure you get a reputable realtor who can make sure you have a proper title search done so you are sure you have clear title. Title scams are a big problem in Belize. Working directly with a seller is not advisable, in my opinion. Read More

You know, Dave, you just confirmed what I was thinking. I was driving over the border as well and never got charged (the subject didn't even come up in my case). I wonder if the Mexican authorities are targeting expats on the ferry? Or maybe it is a ... Read More

That sucks, Emily! Mexico is not supposed to be doing that. They didn't do it to us when we went over in January of this year - it might be a hit or miss thing, but still. And yes, thanks for mentioning the Belize exit fee - so many fees, I think ... Read More

I think attorneys are one of the professions in Belize that you can earn a very decent income from. The main reason is diversification of your services. In Belize, most attorneys do not specialize. For instance, my attorney can set up a trust, an ... Read More

Here's the most up-to-date info on exporting horses from the US to Belize: http://www.aphis.usda.gov/regulations/vs/iregs/animals/downloads/bh_eq_pro.pdf Also, I assume you've spoken with Baha here in ... Read More

What area did you move to, Cherrie Red? For me, up here in Cayo, it doesn't make sense to go over to Chetumal. I head to either Spanish Lookout or Belize City for my sheets and towels. Or sometimes, I'll have my "shipping mules" (i.e. visitors lol!) ... Read More

Both are very nice and well run establishments. If you prefer to be walking distance to town, then the Yacht Club would be a better choice. Reef Village is located right over the bridge "North" of town. You could still walk to town, but a bike or ... Read More
