Frequently asked questions
Buying and living on the Riviera, answered.
- Is there income tax in Monaco?
- Monaco levies no personal income tax on its residents (French nationals excepted under a bilateral treaty), no wealth tax, no local property tax and no capital gains tax on the sale of a primary residence. This tax regime is the single biggest driver of demand for Monaco real estate.
- Can foreigners buy property in Monaco?
- Yes. There are no restrictions on foreign ownership in Monaco — buyers of any nationality may purchase freely. Acquisition costs (notary and registration fees) run around 6% on a resale, and the transaction is handled by a Monégasque notaire.
- How do I become a Monaco resident?
- Residency requires accommodation in Monaco (ownership or a lease), proof of sufficient financial means (typically a deposit with a Monaco bank) and a clean criminal record. Non-EU nationals first obtain a French long-stay visa. The residence card is issued for one year, then renewed.
- What does it cost to buy on the French Riviera?
- Indicative prime price-per-square-metre ranges from roughly €16,000 in the hinterland to over €100,000 in Monaco's Carré d'Or. France charges notary and registration fees of about 7–8% on resales; new-builds are lower. See our Riviera Prime Index for values by district.
- How does yacht chartering work?
- A charter is priced per week, plus an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA, typically 25–35%) covering fuel, provisioning and port fees, billed separately. The French Riviera is Europe's leading charter market, and berths in Monaco's Port Hercule are among the scarcest assets in the world.
- How does MonacoTop work?
- MonacoTop is a curated marketplace: every listing is presented with a dedicated private advisor. Browse or save a search, enquire on any listing, and your advisor replies personally and in confidence. There is no charge to buyers.
