The Rule That Could Cancel Your Brazilian Land Purchase

Check the fiscal module before it's too late

R$ 8,000

Typical starting third-party costs for a direct individual purchase

You are limited to 50 fiscal modules total. In some regions that’s just 250 hectares, in others over 5,000. Exceed it and your whole purchase can be nullified.

Dica

Always check the INCRA fiscal module size and the 150km border zone map before making an offer — border clearance is almost never granted to individuals.
