What additional costs should I consider when buying property?
Closing costs in Mexico are typically around 5% to 8% of the purchase price. These may include acquisition tax (ISAI), notary fees, registration fees, and other costs related to transferring ownership. Before you move forward with a purchase, we’ll provide a detailed estimate so you know what to expect.
Can I buy property in Mexico as a foreigner?
Yes. Foreign buyers can purchase property in Mexico’s coastal restricted zone through a fideicomiso, or bank trust. This structure gives you the right to use, rent, sell, improve, and transfer the property. Bank trust fees vary by institution, but the annual fee is commonly around $500–700 USD. Our team can guide you through the entire process.
