Can foreigners really own property in Mexico?

es! Today, Mexican laws give foreigners the ability to own real estate in Mexico. There is, however, a Restricted Zone that extends 50 km inland from the coastline. Outside the Restricted Zone, a foreigner may acquire land and be direct owners of the property with all the rights of a Mexican national in compliance with Mexican Law. Inside the Restricted Zone, there are two alternatives for foreigners who wish to buy real estate. Since 1973, foreigners have been able to purchase coastal property through a Mexican bank trust, known as a Fideicomiso.

Can I get financing for my real estate purchase in Mexico?

Unfortunately, at this time, there are no financing or mortgage options for foreign buyers in Quintana Roo. This can change at any time and updates will be posted.

What about the availability of title insurance?

Beginning in 1996, Stewart Title Mexico began underwriting title insurance for Mexican properties at an approximate cost of 1% of the insured amount. Other types of insurance, including property, liability, damage, and earthquake, are all readily available in Mexico, at low cost, and policies can be written to pay claims in U.S. dollars.

What can I expect to pay in property taxes?

Property taxes have historically been low in Mexico because they have never been considered a source of governmental revenue. Known as Predial, the tax is calculated as a percentage (currently .25% of the assessed value), determined at the time of sale. Generally speaking, you can expect to pay $100usd per $100,000usd of assessed value yearly.

Puerto Morelos Real Estate Listings

The first major town south of Cancun, Puerto Morelos has managed to maintain the tranquility and pace of a sleepy fishing village. Unlike Cancun and Playa del Carmen, the town has seen little change in the past decade. Recently, we are noticing a surge of development. Beachfront villas, new hotels and even condo complexes are springing up seemingly overnight. The introduction of El Cid may have spurred this new interest in the area but, comparatively speaking, Puerto Morelos still remains a quaint and quieter alternative to busy tourist driven towns.

The Puerto Morelos Real Estate Listings displayed on www.BuyPlaya.com are those that we personally know and recommend. We can confirm the availability of the property and the accuracy of the information listed.
