Market Reality

Why Puerto Rico Is Hard to Underwrite

The island's data infrastructure creates real barriers for investors, developers, and operators.

Fragmented Information

Property records, zoning, and permits scattered across multiple municipal offices, CRIM, OGPe, and federal agencies with no unified database.

Inconsistent Updates

Post-Maria and post-earthquake reconstruction data often outdated or incomplete. Historical records damaged or lost.

Limited Transparency

Transaction history, permit status, and ownership chains difficult to verify. Many properties have unclear title history.

Complex Regulations

Overlay of federal, territorial, and municipal requirements. Special zones (tourism, coastal, agricultural) add compliance layers.

Our Approach

What ReadyPermit™ Does Differently

We built our Puerto Rico coverage specifically to address these data challenges.

Centralized Data Layers

We aggregate federal sources (FEMA, HUD, EPA, USGS, Census) with Puerto Rico geospatial data and local records where available into a single, searchable view.

AI That Translates Regulations

Our AI agents parse zoning codes, overlay requirements, and incentive eligibility into plain-language summaries. No more deciphering Spanish legal documents alone.

Clear Next Steps

Every report identifies exactly which municipal office or agency to contact for permits, variances, or confirmations. We tell you what to do, not just what exists.

Tax Incentives

Act 60, OZs, and Incentives

Puerto Rico's Act 60 consolidates prior incentive laws (Acts 20, 22, and others) into powerful tax positions for qualifying residents and businesses. Pair with Opportunity Zone benefits for potentially unmatched returns.

Key Incentive Programs

  • Export Services (formerly Act 20): 4% corporate tax rate
  • Individual Investors (formerly Act 22): 0% tax on capital gains
  • Tourism Development: Tax exemptions for hotels and tourism infrastructure
  • Green Energy: Incentives for renewable energy projects
  • Manufacturing: Tax credits for qualifying operations

How ReadyPermit Helps

  • Screen candidate areas and parcels for Buildability™ constraints
  • Identify environmental risks before engaging professionals
  • Assess tourism or export-service development potential
  • Generate documentation for tax advisors and attorneys
Opportunity Zones

Important Disclaimer

Zoning classifications and entitlements in Puerto Rico require official confirmation with OGPe (Oficina de Gerencia de Permisos) and/or municipal authorities. ReadyPermit accelerates shortlisting and initial due diligence but does not replace formal verification. Always consult qualified local attorneys and tax advisors before making investment decisions.
