Quitirrisí, Mora, Costa Rica Real Estate

Quitirrisí, Mora, San José real estate is the market for property in the seventh district of the canton of Mora, in San José province, Costa Rica. The district covers 26.6 km² (10.3 sq mi) and its postal code is 10707. The pack lists no properties for sale at the moment, so this guide describes the zone and the steps to follow rather than what is currently on offer. Buyers here usually look at land or a house outside the center of town, and a purchase is best treated as a long-term investment.

Because no properties are listed for sale right now, the profiles below are general ones, not a reading of the current market. A home to live in suits someone who wants a base in the Central Valley of Costa Rica outside the city. A lot to build on suits a buyer with a plan and the patience for permits and utility connections.

Some buyers also purchase to rent out later, which is a form of investing that depends on the property, its access and local demand. Whoever buys for that purpose should compare several properties before deciding.

No property types are listed for sale in this zone at present. When listings appear, this page shows them above by type, but only when there are enough of them to make the figures meaningful.

Whatever the type, a few things apply to any property in a district like this: the physical condition of the building, the legal and physical access to the property, the water supply, and any recurring fees. Ask for these details in writing and compare them with what you see on a visit.

Quitirrisí is an inland district, not a coastal one, in the Central Valley region of Costa Rica. The canton seat, Colón, is 4.2 km (2.6 mi) away in a straight line. Downtown San José is 19.4 km (12.1 mi) away in a straight line, and Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) is 13.0 km (8.1 mi) away in a straight line.

That position gives a buyer access to the capital and the main airport while living in a separate district with its own character. Being inland also means the coastal rules on beachfront land do not apply here.

• A title search at the National Registry (Registro Nacional): who owns the property and whether it carries mortgages, liens or annotations.
• A registered survey plan (plano catastrado) that matches the title and what you see on the ground, including boundaries, size and access.
• A land-use certificate (uso de suelo) from the Municipalidad de Mora and, where one exists, the canton's zoning plan, to confirm what can be built.
• Property tax (Law 7509) and municipal services paid up to date.
• Written water availability (AyA or the local ASADA) and electricity if you buy a lot to build; building permits come from the municipality.
• The transfer is made by public deed before a Costa Rican notary and pays the transfer tax (Law 6999); ask for the full closing-cost breakdown before signing.

Quitirrisí borders the districts of Colón, Guayabo, Tabarcia, Piedras Negras and Jaris in the same canton. It also borders Salitral and Piedades, both in the canton of Santa Ana.

The official villages in the district are Quebrada Honda, San Juan and San Martín. Real travel time to any of these places depends on the hour of the day and the road, so drive the route at the times you would normally travel before you decide.

A purchase usually starts with a local real estate agent who knows the area, followed by a visit to several properties and a comparison of asking prices for similar ones. Agencies and agents with listings in the zone appear further down this same page.

Once you agree on a price, a Costa Rican notary prepares the public deed and carries out the registration. Have the title search and the survey plan reviewed before you sign anything. Foreigners can own titled property in Costa Rica with the same rights as citizens (Article 19 of the Constitution), with the exceptions the law sets.
