As far as taxes that everyone has to pay when purchasing would be 1.25% of the purchase price for the year. Then you would pay another .7 % of the purchase price that goes to the state and it is a ONE time fee. Other than that there may be Homeowners Association fees and those costs depend on where the property is that you select. Those fees INCLUDE certain services and amenities that go along with the property. such as lawn maintenance, cable TV, garbage collection, security and similar such services.
If you are looking to finance the property there is a tax of .35% of the purchase price of the property and you would also have to put 30-50% down on the property IF you are financing through our banks in the U.S.

No matter what your goals are for purchasing property in Naples, we’re dedicated to working hard for you and finding you what you want. Here in the U.S. Real estate sales are conducted very differently than they are in Europe. You do not normally contact the listing agent to inquire about the property they have listed. Instead, you work with ONE realtor who shows you all of the property that you have an interest in. And that one realtor represents you as you look at each and every property until you make a decision which property to purchase. Then that same realtor will put in your offer for you and ultimately help you to negotiate the purchase of whichever property you choose. We can represent you on any and all property you have an interest in within the state of Florida.
I look forward to working with you!
