Cancún, Quintana Roo — The municipality of Benito Juárez is on track to achieve a record property tax collection in 2026, having already collected 91% of its annual target by the end of June, officials announced.
Treasurer Alan Herrera said the municipality has brought in roughly 1.083 billion pesos ($60 million) of the 1.190 billion pesos budgeted for the year. He expects the full goal to be met by August, two months ahead of the usual end-of-year deadline.
“These strong own-source revenues will give us more resources to meet fiscal year-end commitments and continue contracting and executing public works,” Herrera told reporters.
Herrera also highlighted progress on delinquent accounts. The municipality had identified approximately 30,000 properties with overdue tax payments. During the first six months of 2026, more than 15,000 property owners have come forward to regularize their status.
The treasurer noted that the number of delinquent properties fluctuates due to updates in the cadastral registry, property mergers and subdivisions, and land designated for donations, roadways, or urban equipment.
If the current trend holds, Benito Juárez will reach its annual collection target early, ensuring funds for public services, infrastructure, and planned projects for the remainder of the year.
