Tulum, Quintana Roo — The Tulum city government has launched a citizen consultation process to update its property tax valuation table for 2027, inviting property owners, investors, and real estate specialists to submit proposals by July 30.
The municipality held its second working group meeting on the matter, led by Catastro director Luis Ángel Itzá Balam and municipal treasurer Rubén Raziel Ek Cruz. The effort aims to align property values with the area’s rapid urban and economic growth, ensuring tax fairness and legal certainty.
Officials said the current valuation table no longer reflects the real estate market, prompting the review. The inclusive process involves the hotel sector, business groups, engineering and architecture associations, and professional appraisers.
Key objectives include establishing fairer property taxes, strengthening legal certainty in cadastral procedures, and improving municipal revenue to fund infrastructure, urban development, and public services.
How to participate
Residents and specialists can submit written observations or technical proposals. Steps include:
- Prepare your comments or proposals in writing.
- Deliver them in person to the Catastro office.
- Visit Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
- Submit before the July 30 deadline, after which the proposal will be forwarded for final approval.
