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.

Flora Fauna Phase 2 - Homes on Private Lots For Sale in Tulum

Flora Fauna is a residential community of 14 single family, detached homes on deeded lots, sharing a park, cafe and recreational areas. Set in a pristine pocket of jungle in an up and coming area of Tulum, the homes have been thoughtfully designed for efficiency and ultimate comfort within an exclusive space where contemporary architecture is enveloped by preserved trees. One of the unique features of Flora Fauna is that the customary ongoing costs such as HOA and maintenance fees will be covered by the profits from the café.

2 or 3 bedroom homes will be offered, each designed for beauty, comfort and efficiency, blending interior and exterior living spaces perfectly. Collaboration with local artisans and imported technologies achieves the highest standard of practical luxury, in-line with Mexican Caribbean lifestyle. The main living area will be surrounded by windows, which open out to a large covered terrace and garden with private swimming pool. The homes will be equipped with AC inverter units, USB wall chargers, a water pressurization system, dual electricity meter for sustainable energy use and access to the grid and an underground cistern for additional water storage. Each residence will have two covered parking spaces, a bodega for bikes and other recreational equipment and a laundry room with pantry.

Owners also have the option of adding a guesthouse to the property with an independent entrance. The guesthouse is fitted with a queen-sized bed, an efficiency kitchen with mini-fridge and 2-burner stop, private bathroom, custom made cabinetry and an energy efficient AC converter unit. This additional casita will significantly increase ROI and your options for vacation rental income.

A great deal of thought has been put into the design of this project, to make it not just another new residential development, but a community, with a park area, ampitheatre and café where owners and guests can gather and enjoy time together. Living in a community with a master plan ensures neighbors will uphold similar values, as like-minded homeowners seeking comfort and tranquility in harmony with nature.
