Mexico Cities Launch 2026 Property-Tax Drives With January Discounts, Digital Perks and Some Glitches

Officials are using early-payment incentives and online bonuses to speed collections as they extend hours and address a system outage in Guadalajara.

Overview

  • Mexico City set 2026 predial discounts at 8% for January and 5% for February, alongside fixed quotas and a 30% reduction for eligible vulnerable groups depending on property value and requirements.
  • Monterrey offers a maximum 22.5% reduction for taxpayers current on obligations who pay the full year in January, combining a 15% base cut, 2.5% for paying all of 2026, and 5% for paying online.
  • Jalisco confirmed the 2026 vehicular refrendo at 1,000 pesos for cars and 600 for motorcycles with free vehicle verification included, plus a 5% online discount and extended office hours in early January.
  • Querétaro projects 1,167 million pesos in January predial with a 12% early-payment discount and bundled home, business and pet insurance, and it plans to waive 2026 predial for about 1,500 households affected by last year’s rains.
  • Guadalajara’s treasury offices reported a system failure that blocked many payments as crews worked on repairs, while other municipalities such as Tijuana and Guadalupe leaned on online-payment discounts and extra collection points to handle heavy turnout.
