Inside a $29 Folio report
The free check tells you if a property is worth a closer look. The verified report is that closer look: the confirmed parcel, the registry detail, and the official documents, in one place you and your lawyer work from.
The report is a document, not a verdict. It gathers the official-record picture for one specific parcel so you can make an informed decision and your lawyer can spend time on judgment, not on hunting for records. It is $29, and it does not make a property "safe."
What the verified report is
The $29 report confirms the exact parcel against the registry and gathers the official picture for that property into one readable document. It is the difference between "this property seems to touch the maritime zone" and "here is the registered owner, the liens on record, the parcel, and the layers, for this specific finca."
Buying property in Costa Rica means pulling records from several agencies, in Spanish, that do not talk to each other. The report does that gathering for you and lays it out clearly, so the first time you or your attorney open it, the picture is already assembled.
See the flags on any property for free. If it is worth pursuing, the $29 report gives you the confirmed, parcel-specific document.

What the report includes
Every item is drawn from the public, official record. The report gathers and presents it, it does not certify or guarantee it.
- The confirmed parcelThe specific finca and cadastral parcel the deal is describing, matched to the registry.
- Registered owner and liensWho is on record as the owner, and any mortgages, annotations or encumbrances recorded against it.
- Maritime-zone and protected-area detailHow the parcel relates to the 200-meter maritime zone and to SINAC protected areas.
- Flood and water contextCNE risk context and the water-district context for the location.
- The official documentsThe underlying records that describe the property, gathered so nothing is scattered across portals.
The document you work from
A good report changes how the rest of the purchase goes. Instead of your attorney starting from a listing and a hope, they start from an assembled picture of the official record and go straight to what matters: the judgment calls, the negotiation, the specific risks. That is why we describe the report as the document you and your lawyer work from, not a replacement for either of you.
The report never says a property is "safe", "clean", or "guaranteed." It does not give legal advice, does not promise any return, and does not replace the legal review, notarization, and survey a real purchase requires. It gives you and your lawyer a clear starting picture, and the judgment stays with the professionals.
Free to start. If a property is worth pursuing, the $29 report gives you and your lawyer the assembled official picture.
Frequently asked questions
What does the $29 report include?
The confirmed parcel matched to the registry, the registered owner and liens, maritime-zone and protected-area detail, flood and water context, and the official documents, gathered into one readable document.
How is it different from the free check?
The free check overlays layers so you see the flags on any property. The report confirms the exact parcel, pulls the registry detail and documents, and organizes it into a document for your lawyer.
Does the report make a property safe?
No. It gathers the official picture so you and your lawyer can decide. It never calls a property safe, clean, or guaranteed, and it does not replace legal review, notarization, or a survey.
Can my lawyer use it?
Yes. It is built so your attorney's time goes to judgment, not data-gathering. Your lawyer still does the legal review, and the report is informational, not a legal opinion.
