Taxation for foreign investors
Morocco offers concrete tax advantages —not promises— for property buyers:
- •Exemption from rental income tax for the first 3 years after completion of the work, provided the income is declared. From the fourth year, a 40% allowance on the taxable base.
- •Exemption from the urban tax for 5 years on new constructions.
- •Total exemption from capital gains tax if the property has been the primary residence for at least 8 years.
- •No inheritance tax for direct heirs.
- •Full convertibility: funds entered in foreign currency can be repatriated without limit of time or amount —both the invested capital and the proceeds from sale and rentals— through a convertible dirham account managed by a notary before the Exchange Office.
You don't need to be Moroccan or reside in the country to buy. The local notary and real estate agency handle the paperwork.
Profile of Agadir's neighborhoods
Taghazout Bay and Marina. These are the most tourism- and surf-oriented areas, with near year-round occupancy thanks to national and international demand. The square meter is the most expensive in the city (20,000 MAD/m² in Taghazout). You'll find residences with pools, security and sea views, as well as surf schools and an active seafront promenade.
Founty (Agadir Bay). Beachfront, with international restaurants (Soho Club, Papagayo), the French lycée and shops such as Marjane and Mr Bricolage. It is the preferred neighborhood for expatriate families due to its direct beach access and service offer. Apartments from 15,000 MAD/m², villas from 3.5 million MAD.
Centre-ville and Dakhla. The center offers the best connectivity-to-price ratio (12,500 MAD/m²), with transport, shops and the beach within 10 minutes. Dakhla attracts young families with new off-plan programs (VEFA) from 10,000 MAD/m².

What no brochure tells you
- •More than 50% of demand in Morocco seeks apartments under 80 m². A 2-bedroom, 60-75 m² apartment in Centre-ville or Talborjt matches the most demanded profile in the current market.
- •The notary is mandatory and their fees are around 1% of the purchase price. Add a further 4-5% for registration, stamps and land registry.
- •Agadir was rebuilt to seismic standards after the 1960 earthquake. Most of the real estate stock complies with modern anti-seismic standards —something not every Moroccan city can claim.
- •Demand peaks in May and August (20% of annual demand concentrated in those two months). If you're selling, list in April or July.
FAQ

It depends on the neighborhood. An 80 m² apartment in Centre-ville is around 1,000,000 MAD (≈€93,000), while the same size in Taghazout Bay approaches 1,600,000 MAD (≈€149,000).

Can a non-resident foreigner buy property in Morocco?
Yes, without restrictions. Any foreigner —whether residing in Morocco or not— can buy property in their own name. They only need to open a convertible dirham account, transfer the funds from abroad, and have the notary notify the acquisition to the Exchange Office. Moroccan law does not require residency or nationality to own property.
Which Agadir neighborhood offers the best value for money in 2026?
Centre-ville (12,500 MAD/m²) is the sweet spot: services, transport, shops and the beach within 10 minutes. If space is prioritized over location, Hay Mohammadi (8,500 MAD/m²) with its new promotions offers more square meters for the same budget. Talborjt (11,000–15,000 MAD/m²) adds authenticity and neighborhood life at a still reasonable price.
