Just an irrelevant tidbit. My GF just went to check out her property taxes which are due sometime soon. It is $95 US for 3 years. No wonder there are potholes and other services are lacking.
You don't seriously think the Mexican government would use taxes to fix things do you? Wait, do you seriously think any government use taxes to provide services!?
I'm a little disappointed that I won't be paying the rich pensions of county goldbricks, sheriffs, firemen and healthcare for the homeless and illegals in Santa Cruz county with property tax; I'm just going to be a visitor from now on.
In Sonora Mexico, prop taxes (prediales) are paid yearly and are based on the "valor catastral" (appraised value) of the property. 95$ for 3 years (650 pesos per year) seems pretty low especially for La Paz but it all depends on the VALOR CATASTRAL which you will find on the predial paperwork.
