January in Mexico is more than just pleasant weather. It is time to pay property taxes and to receive a twenty percent discount. Mexican property taxes are known as predial, and like most other counties and municipalities, these taxes are used to operate local governments.
As the north of the US-Mexican border, there is a discount for paying the entire tax early; here, we pay by the end of February to be eligible for a fifteen percent discount. Ten percent in March, five percent in April. With this being said, it is sometimes easier to say than to do.
In Los Cabos, property tax statements are not sent out in the mail, nor are they available electronically. One must go to the local city hall (OFICINA CATASTRAL). Property tax files are recorded by number, not name, although one should check the records to make certain the correct name is associated with the property. You can find your property tax ID number in your Fedeicomiso or deed (CLAVE CATASTRAL).
Discounts if paid by:
January 20%
February 15%
March 10%
