Bill Would Cut Property-Transfer Tax to 3%

Published on Honduras Daily · Oct 14, 2026 · Originally reported October 13, 2026 by Congreso Nacional

A congressman has proposed cutting the municipal tax for converting land titles from useful-domain to full-domain status from 10% to 3%, saying it would ease real-estate deals and spur housing, industrial, and urban development, especially in San Pedro Sula, where about 80% of property titles are held under useful domain.
