On a fairly regular basis – in fact, whenever I write about the cost of living or property expenses in Mexico, I emphasize that property taxes are virtually a non-expense in Mexico.
However, it’s always necessary to see cold, hard numbers.
While there are variables in the calculation, I find that property taxes are usually under 0.1% per year, often somewhere around 0.083%.
So, for example, consider the following prices:
Property Value $139,000 – Annual Taxes: $115
Property Value $240,000 – Annual Taxes: $200
Now, think about that first property; for many people, their annual property tax would be less than their weekly groceries (although here in Mexico, weekly groceries will probably be a good deal lower), their monthly HOA fees, which are likewise very low in Mexico and many other items.
Property taxes in Mexico are low – very low.
