Mexico City says property tax will not rise in 2027
Mexico City head of government Clara Brugada says the city’s property tax will not increase in 2027.
The issue drew attention during debate over a proposed plan for the Mexico Valley metropolitan area and a recently approved cadastral law.
The metropolitan plan is meant to coordinate Mexico City, the State of Mexico, Hidalgo and Morelos on issues including water, transport and housing.
It does not have the power to set or collect taxes, and officials say it would not change property taxes or cadastral values.
The plan is still a draft and has not been approved; it is due to go through public consultation before any application.
Officials also say it will not immediately change land use or zoning.
Separately, a cadastral law approved by Mexico’s lower house on October 6 has been sent to the Senate for consideration.
Mexico City says the property tax will not rise in 2027.
Mayor Clara Brugada said residents should not be misled about a possible increase.
Officials say the metropolitan planning programme has no tax-raising powers and will not change property tax or cadastral values.
The programme is still a draft and has not been approved; it is due to undergo public consultation.
