Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo — The city council unanimously approved a summer package of tax subsidies, discounts, and incentives called “El Calor de los Descuentos 2026,” along with two strategic agreements to strengthen women’s rights and expand professional training opportunities for students.
During the 43rd regular session on June 30, 2026, council members endorsed the measures presented by Mayor Estefanía Mercado’s administration. The fiscal stimulus program will run from July 1 to August 31, offering discounts to encourage timely payment of municipal taxes and support family finances.
The mayor announced up to 100% discounts on property tax surcharges and commercial waste collection surcharges, as well as discounts of up to 75% and 50% on licenses, fines, permits, regularization fees, and other municipal procedures.
The council authorized Mercado and the director of Municipal Public Transport, Nayeli Nicte-Ha Molina Rosado, to sign a collaboration agreement with transport operators to promote women’s and girls’ rights, strengthen substantive equality, and publicize programs such as Puntos Violeta and the Specialized Center for Eradication of Violent Behavior toward Women (CECOVIM).
Another approved agreement with the Patronato Cultural Vizcaya A.C. will promote internship, social service, and training programs for students, strengthening ties between the municipal government and educational institutions.
