Due date for Mexican property taxes

not sure if this applies in baja sur

We tried to pay ours last week, but they didn't have them ready yet---said they will have them, maybe next week.

La Paz: IF they're ready:
December 30% discount (They WERE ready in Dec this year!)
January 20% discount
February 10% discount
March is when they are due & if paid in March, no discount.

Edit: Ayuntamiento...aka Catastral...aka Municipio de La Paz which is on Colosio one block behind Soriana's & on the other side of the street. First door you come to on the entrance side of the building off the parking lot....ground floor. They don't accept no stinkin coconuts!

Paid our taxes for the year today.

Easy to find as explained by m7 and llilp. Very friendly and helpful gentleman behind the counter. Explained to us that we could save 30% off the total bill if we paid in either Dec or Nov next time. Total tax was M$768.00. With the 20% discount it came to M$616.55.

We were discussing this just a few nights ago with some friends that are in town for a few days. (At the time we didn't know what our taxes were going to be.) They just bought a place in Palo Alto, CA for U$1.3mil. Little house on a lot where the builder bulldozed the original house and built 3 houses. Anyway, his property tax bill is over U$1,000 per month. Didn't even ask him how much his P&I payments are. Too scary for me.

Jesus Christo!!!!!!!!!

Mi casa en La Paz es 860 PESOS per year!!!!!!

Mine were $404 pesos after the 30% discount, but they'll go up $200-$300 pesos next year since I'm currently building.

The discrepancy in the % of discount is interesting even though Guerro Negro South falls under the jurisdiction of La Paz. It must be driven by current year Federal revenue needs & size of the population base in any given area to generate the revenue they need!! In the past, my taxes have fluctuated BOTH up & down, they don't always go up! Whatever the formula, it's much easier paying property taxes here than in the states!
