Mexico’s property tax depends on local rules and assessed value

• 

  Mexico’s property tax depends on the assessed value of a property and the tax rules set by local authorities.

• 

  There is no single formula or national tax rate for the whole country.

• 

  The assessed value is a fiscal reference and may differ from a property’s potential sale price.

• 

  A federal proposal seeks to modernize and connect property registries but would not set a national rate or automatically raise the tax.

• 

  The proposal has passed the Chamber of Deputies and was sent to the Senate, so it is not yet in force.
