Tulum, Quintana Roo — The Tulum city council approved a third modification to its 2026 municipal expenditure budget and authorized sending two public-finance proposals for 2027 to the Quintana Roo Congress, the municipal government announced.

Mayor Diego Castañón Trejo led the Thirteenth Extraordinary Session of the Cabildo, where council members reviewed and voted on the municipality’s financial planning measures.

2026 Spending Plan Adjusted

The council first approved the Third Modification to the Expenditure Budget for the 2026 fiscal year, which adjusts municipal spending for the current year. The municipal treasurer presented the technical and financial justification for the changes, along with the scope of the proposed adjustments, so council members could review the details before voting.

Two Proposals Headed to State Congress

Council members then approved sending an initiative to the XVIII Legislature of the Quintana Roo Congress that would reform and add various provisions to the municipality’s Finance Law. They also authorized submitting a separate initiative to issue Tulum’s Revenue Law for the 2027 fiscal year, which would set the framework for municipal income next year.

Both proposals still must go through the legislative process at the state Congress before taking effect.

During the session, the treasurer appeared before the council to explain the technical, financial and administrative aspects of each item and to answer questions and observations from council members. The municipal government said the measures are meant to strengthen transparency and accountability in the handling of public resources.
