Mexico Cities Roll Out New‑Year Tax Breaks as 2026 Local Collections Begin

Time‑limited discounts seek to drive early compliance, easing January costs.

Overview

  • Mexico City grants a 100% tenencia exemption through March 31 for eligible vehicles, conditional on paying a 760‑peso refrendo, meeting value caps (638,000 pesos for cars, 250,000 for motorcycles), having no arrears and holding a valid circulation card.
  • In CDMX the predial offers 8% off in January and 5% in February, with a 68‑peso bimonthly quota for defined vulnerable groups within value limits, plus 100% condonation of predial fines and surcharges and discounts of up to 90% on select traffic fines.
  • Jalisco set the 2026 refrendo at 1,000 pesos for cars and 600 for motorcycles, includes free vehicle verification, offers a 5% online early‑payment discount in January–February and extended service hours at state collection offices.
  • Querétaro targets about 1,167 million pesos in January predial revenue with a 12% discount and added incentives such as home or business insurance and pet insurance for early payers, alongside expanded digital and in‑person payment points.
  • State of Mexico municipalities announced staggered predial discounts (commonly 8% in January, 6% in February and 4% in March) with higher relief for vulnerable groups and broad condonations, while other cities such as Monterrey and Escobedo added online bonuses, extended hours and prize or service incentives to boost compliance.
