Mordida in it's most pure form is ideal. Those who break the law support law enforcement.
OK...I know. There is no pure form. Greed is stronger than idealism. It was just a stupid, senseless, naive thought.

Corky made them for me. I probably should check with Glen's publicist to make sure it's okay first...

I spent half the day yesterady at the Rosarito Palacio trying to pay my property taxes. No problems for many years- just wait in line and pay. This
year they told me the lot was vacant and I didn't have a house. Gotta love this country. Everyone in line had a good laugh too.
They make four copies of everything, stamp them, process them and then don't do anything with them. I had to pay 50 pesos at another window to show a
house was there and then go back and pay the tax. I was tempted to just pay the lower rate for the empty lot- but then someone would just try to
steal the lot. lol

i know there are no general rules here in mexico but at least
here in ensenada, they charge HIGHER property taxes for empty lots. they are incentivizing folks to build on lots they purchase. we learned this quite by accident one year when i
noticed something on the receipt that indicated we were paying for an empty lot.
and as you indicated, it was a pain in the burro to go to different offices to get the necessary paperwork to update our forms to show that the lot
was not vacant. but it was well worth it, as the taxes were significantly reduced
not that they were high to begin with

Property taxes are higher in La Paz for empty lots as well... I found that out at the register window last month.

You are right! We were surprised when the property taxes were lower this year- a whopping 653 pesos (we got 10 percent off for paying early I guess-
or it would have been 725).
I did notice that the city of Rosarito posted signs on all the vacant lots recently posting the owners names and telling the owners to clean the trash
up and keep them clean. The signs all blew away during the santana winds though (or at least I think that's how the signs came down).
