Overview

• The Tepoztlán mayor says the parcel used by Senator Gerardo Fernández Noroña is not in the municipal cadastre and has no property-tax record.
• The document Noroña shared shows a 2025 predial payment of 3,777 pesos for a 1,201.63 m² lot and 259.93 m² construction, still in the previous owner’s name.
• Proceso notes that state law obliges owners or possessors to register and report changes, raising compliance questions given Noroña’s claim he is paying for the home.
• Communal authorities report no possession certificate in their archives and say the site is in Paraje Mozoquila, a federally protected area, as comuneros protested outside the residence.
• Noroña argues the house is not legally his yet, says he bought it with a personal loan, and asserts the registered owner has been paying the predial.
