In Los Cabos, Mexico, property taxes—known as Impuesto Predial—are notably lower than in many other countries, making property ownership particularly attractive. Here’s a comprehensive overview to help you understand how they work: 
🧾 How Property Taxes Are Calculated
• Tax Base (Valor Catastral): This is the assessed value of your property, typically determined at the time of purchase. Unlike in some countries where property values are reassessed annually, in Los Cabos, significant reassessments usually occur only upon sale. Between sales, adjustments may be made periodically based on inflation or other indices.  
• Tax Rate (Tasa): The standard property tax rate is approximately 0.1% of the assessed value. For instance, a property valued at $500,000 USD would incur an annual tax of about $500 USD . 
📅 Payment Deadlines & Early Payment Discounts
• Official Deadline: Property taxes are due annually, with the official deadline being March 31st. 
• Early Payment Discounts: The municipality offers incentives for early payment:
• January: 20% discount
• February: 15% discount
• March: 10% discount
• April: 5% discount   
Note that paying after April may result in penalties and interest . 
💳 How to Pay
• Online: Payments can be made through the Los Cabos Municipal Treasury website: https://www.tesoreria.loscabos.gob.mx/pagos-y-consultas/.
You’ll need your Clave Catastral, a 12- or 17-character property tax ID found on your deed. 
• In Person: Payments can also be made at local tax offices in San José del Cabo or Cabo San Lucas. Ensure you bring your Clave Catastral and request a stamped receipt for your records . 
👥 Special Discounts for Seniors
If you’re over 60 and hold a permanent resident status in Mexico, you may qualify for a 50% discount on your property tax through the INAPAM program. To benefit, you’ll need to present your INAPAM card when paying . 
✅ Important Reminders
• No Mailed Bills: The municipality does not send out property tax bills. It’s your responsibility to remember the due dates and make timely payments.
• Verify Property Details: Always check that your property details are correctly listed in the tax records, especially if you’ve recently purchased the property. 
• Separate Tax IDs: If you own additional property features like storage units (bodegas), they may have separate Clave Catastral numbers and require individual tax payments .
