Guadalajara Council Backs 2026 Revenue Law With Targeted Tax Updates and New Discounts

The measure now moves to the Jalisco Congress for state review.

Overview

  • City lawmakers approved the ordinance by majority vote, projecting 13,016,671,527 pesos in revenue for 2026, reported as roughly 4.2% above 2025.
  • Officials say taxes, fees and contributions will see an average 5% update, with no across-the-board increase in predial rates and account-level adjustments ranging from 0% to 7%.
  • The package adds a 50% property-tax discount for caregivers, keeps concessions for older adults and people with disabilities, removes in-person renewal for seniors, and offers itinerant free birth certificates and income-tested free Cruz Verde care.
  • Sanctions for regulatory violations increase and certain service tariffs, including waste collection, are aligned with other municipalities to encourage compliance.
  • Four Morena councilors voted no, alleging predial hikes near 15% that would burden lower-income neighborhoods and raise some Cruz Verde fees, claims the municipality disputes with its account-by-account breakdown.
