You still have a chance to pay your 2026 property tax with a discount in Mexico City. We’ll tell you what the requirements are and everything you need to know about it. In addition, there is also a discount on vehicle ownership tax payments.
Every year, discounts are activated for vehicle ownership tax, water, and property tax payments in Mexico City. The first thing you need to know is that these have a deadline.
How long do I have to get the discount on my 2026 property tax payment in Mexico City?
In a newsletter, the Mexico City Ministry of Administration and Finance announced that those who pay their property tax in advance during February will receive a 5% discount.
In the case of vulnerable groups such as senior citizens, female heads of household, single mothers, surviving spouses of property owners, and orphaned pensioners, for example, they will have a fixed property tax rate.
This fixed bimonthly payment will be $68 when the property’s assessed value does not exceed 2,808,466 pesos. If it exceeds this amount, they will receive a 30% discount. In this case, the procedure can be carried out in person throughout the year (until December 31, 2026). Here you can consult the requirements and steps to follow for each case.
On the other hand, in the case of water, these vulnerable groups will receive a 50% discount on their bimonthly payment.
Now, what about the 2026 vehicle ownership tax payment? As in previous years, you can obtain a 100% discount on the vehicle ownership tax renewal, provided that:
- The total value of the car does not exceed 638,000 pesos. In the case of motorcycles, the value must not exceed 250,000 pesos.
- You have no outstanding vehicle tax debts from previous years.
- You have a valid registration card.
You can obtain this waiver until March 31, 2026. You still have a chance! But we strongly recommend that you hurry and not leave it until the last few days.
