Property purchases in Bacan follow the same legal process as elsewhere in the Philippines: verify title at the Registry of Deeds, pay documentary stamp tax and transfer tax, and register the transfer at the LGU assessor's office. house-and-lot and townhouse developments serving end-user demand are the available property types.
