Sleepy Joe Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 This is our first year as a homeowner here. Can anyone tell me the specifics of how to pay property taxes (we are in Riberas)? Also, we may be traveling in Jan/Feb, can we have a friend pay if we are not here? Thanks for the help!

El Saltos Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 Take last year's tax bill/receipt to City Hall in Chapala, take a number and wait your turn. Taxes can be paid from the 2nd or 3rd week in Jan. Anyone with last year's receipt can pay your tax bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunshineyDay Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 There is a website that you can pull your property up to see what the taxes are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmh Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 You can pay on line in Guadalajara but not in Chapala so far; I have always paid first week of January except for last year when I did like many people and waited till the last ,minute: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utilitus Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 I paid property taxes in for the first time on a newly purchased lot in SJC last March, in person. The staff in the Joco municipal office could not have been nicer or more efficient, though there was a something of a language barrier, and the taxes on undeveloped property are stunningly low. Talking with another american property owner in Ajijic, it is my understanding that municipal property taxes can be paid any time, including late. How would this work in Joco, specifically? It will be the case that in some years I won't be Lakeside to pay in person, so can I just ignore deadlines and just let the account accrue whatever penalty is involved, or is it important to have someone present the original paperwork annually in person? If annual payment is strongly recommended, who could provide such a service in Joco? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your case it won't be much. In Mexico they are not in any hurry to seize and sale property that is in arrears. For instance in Chapala they do not even know who the owner is on more than half of the vaccant lots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
