When buying in a remote area like Asuncion where do you have to go to for a Notorio and where do you pay yearly taxes?
Is there city water,sewer,electricity or are some places solar and off grid?

There is a now a notario in Vizcaino --- 70 miles from BA, but most of the ex-pats in Asuncion use an agent, Alonso Lopez and his contacts in La Paz
for real estate transactions and other things that require a notario.
There is city water and electricity. There are no sewers. Some people on ejido land and on land where the town has not caught up and other land
outside the town are off the grid.
To assist the community in meeting expenses and so the money stays in the community, many pay their taxes at the local office and others pay taxes at
Santa Rosalia, where the offices for the Mulege District are located, and others choose to pay their taxes online.

How right you are, Swiss Frank.
We did it on wheels....

There is nothing wrong with renting - with the wheels off.
About the only thing that would catch many people unawares is the similarity of this climate to that of El Rosario, and Guerrero Negro rather than
Todos Santos, Pescadero, and the Cape.
I brought an electric blanket and PLENTY of warm clothes and I'm glad I did. The issue is not especially low temperatures, it is the fact that homes
do not have one microgram of insulation in them and electric heaters are worse than window AC units for chomping on electric power. WAY WORSE. One
1,500 watt portable heater is the eqvt of THREE window AC units. So if chilly and damp does not bug a person, then this place may hit the spot.
Washingtonian's Oregonians and Canucks needn't bother arguing the point. I've seen these folks abandon ship in Mexico when daytime temperatures exceed
seventy degrees.
A small LPG heater for the bedroom including bathroom would be ideal. I could care less to keep the cans of tomato soup in the kitchen warm at 3AM.
I don't see a bunch of Mexicans roaring northward solely because "It's Nicer Up There". "Something" keeps bringing Americans to Mexico. Puerto
Vallarta, Mazatlan, Barra de Navidad, and Zihuatanejo are infested with them and that's just on the coast. Thank god for Las Peñas, and Bahía Asunción
where I can speak normally, eat good solid comida a la Mexicana, and be surrounded by nice Mexican neighbors.
If I should assault the sensibilities of an average gringo stranger NOB and offer Good Morning, or Good Afternoon, I would not be surprised if they
drew a firearm: NOBODY says things like that unless it's a setup.

Shari, in what months is the water swimmable w/o a wetsuit?
And I dont mean Canadian-swimmable. Yeah, we have folks from Alberta, Manitoba and Sask. who swim in water that is in the low-mid 60s F. Too cold for
most.
I think I recall from past posts that your water usually wont hit 70 until late August and then is gone by late December? Is that about right?
I was there in early December one year and it was barely swimmable. But I need at least 72 or so, WITH sun and little wind.

I will have to second DK's and David e's comments. I have been to BA several times and I totally fell in love with the place.
A laid-back fishing village that does have a growth spurt and is waiting for the main event.
BUT...
BA is not a destination place because it is about 1.5 hours from Mex 1. There isn't even a sign designating BA as one enters Vizcaino, but there is
one for Bahia Tortugas...roughly 100 miles away...go figger!
And if it were not for Shari's efforts and her blogs, BA may not even be something other than a large fishing village...sort of like Playa Malarrimo
is now. Huge growth spurt in the last five years.
The town owes most of it's lifeblood to her.
When our turn comes to move there, we also plan on making a difference to the municipality and blend in with the community. I plan on working
side-by-side with Shari.
I certainly hope you are not a TROLL, swissfrank, because many respected Nomads really spilled their beans because of your question. I really hope you
respect their opinions and spend some time at each considered location.
We are spending most of next week in the East Cape to north of La Paz just so we can make up our minds of where to rent part of the time, AND, we have
been traveling Baja since the late sixties, and seriously driving all over the East Cape region for 6 years (several times a year).

The town "owes it's lifeblood" to the fishing Cooperativa. Just as all the coastal towns in that area do.

Diane,
Do you know the process of paying online?
Thanks,
Ken

Sorry, but no. We always pay our taxes at the local office as they have requested. They always need the money. But someone else should be able to
tell you how to do it!
