Easier Paying of Property Taxes

The last two years we paid our property taxes in January. It was well organized, and only took about an hour.

This year, friends told us that we were able to pay in December and save the crowds. They were SO right, and even more!

There is a brand new (they were finishing up the last number on the last cashier window as we were paying) facility for handling city payments. It's just to the left of the walk through in the center of the Municipal Palace.

Walk in the crocodile decorated glass doors and on the left, like many banks, is a screen. We selected, "Predial," and out came our number. As we were reading it, it came up at window 4. Walked over, handed her our paperwork and INAPAM cards, and she gave us the bill for 2020. The supervisor was circulating and training and asked us what we thought.

Took our bill, our same number and sat down for less than a minute and our number came up on Caja 11, we paid, got our receipts, thanked the supervisor who was also training, and were out the door in less than 5 minutes!!!

What a difference! There are probably 9 windows to handle the paperwork for payments and 4 cajas. Lots of seating and AC. There was also a man at the door to help those who didn't know what to do, and he appeared to speak English.

It's an easy process, and we encourage anyone who has taxes to pay to try to do it themselves. It's part of living here!
