Predial Tax Discounts
The Mexico City Government has started offering discounts on predial taxes, water bills, and vehicle taxes. These tax relief measures will be available until March 31, 2026.
The Secretariat for Administration and Finance (SAF) explained that an 8% discount will be applied to annual predial payments made in January and February of 2026. Additionally, a 5% discount will be given for annual payments made during the same period.
For vulnerable groups and adults aged 60 and above, a fixed fee of 68 pesos every two months will be charged along with a 30% discount based on the property’s catastral value.
Water Discount for Vulnerable Groups
A 50% reduction in the bimestral fee for water supply rights will be applied to property owners belonging to vulnerable groups.
Vehicle Tax and Refrendo Payment Discounts
As is customary each year, a 100% discount on vehicle tax payment will be granted if the refrendo is paid. This year, however, the limit for exempting vehicle taxes has been raised from 250,000 to 638,000 pesos (including VAT) for private vehicles. This adjustment extends the benefit to more taxpayers who can afford the 2026 refrendo payment of $760 from January 1 to March 31, 2026.
