TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin Buying a Home in SXM

We purchased a villa in St. Maarten in 2011 and luckely, sold it just before Irma. You don't pay any property taxes in SXM which is great especially for a water front villa that we owned.
We did rent it out for a few months per year and only had to declare the rental income in Canada. Hydro is costly and HOA/property management fees can be very high.
