We went this morning about 10.

We were literally the only people there. Handed the nice man last years receipt and held my INAPAM card in my fingers, facing him, playing with it. He looked up a couple of things, took my card, and excused him self while he went to another office somewhere in the building. When he returned he said it would be 10 to 15 minutes. Great, thanks!!! After about 15 minutes he went back, came back printed out another page and left again with a smile. 10 minutes later he came back, returned my card and printed out more pages. He escorted us to the cashier while explaining their system was off line, but he took care of things. We thanked him and made small talk while he confirmed the total with the cashier. Paid with a US credit card, it's done!!!

When we go to pay the Predial we always take a copy of the trust, the INAPAM card, passport and residency card. In theory the trust is in their files, but things happen. I ended up needing my passport as the only acceptible ID for my credit card. Last year they only wanted my drivers license.

Done for the year!

I don't trust making payments to any government office that doesn't require you to deposit directly into a government bank account and bring them a copy of the receipt. We have severe transparency issues with our local and state governments.

After we made sure that we had copies, signed of all the pages we stapled the bank card receipt to the top. Best we can do paying with a credit card.

Interesting...I thought I read somewhere..."CASH only".

Thanks for the info!

Quite interesting, because some years when I attempted to receive the discount with my INAPAM card I was told (after quite a bit of discussion amongst several office persons) that it does not apply if your property has a fideicomiso (bank trust).Originally my name was on the predial and later it was removed and the banks' name appeared. COMMENTS?

This is the fourth time we have paid our predial, and we do have a trust (but hopefully not for much longer). I just make a point of having my INAPAM card in my hand and play with it. Each time it has been asked/reached for and the discount was put in place.

When I checked into paying on line the INAPAM discount was not available, and the man we worked with today said that was correct when we mentioned it today.

Remember, the 50% discount is off of the base tax. Then a 15% education and a 15% tourism tax is added.

There was a time period where I heard of this type of discrimination going on. I know many people with fideicomiso's. NOT ONE do I know of where the Predial is listed in the "banks name".

I have two predials with Scotiabank listed on both lots(though Scotia can't find one of them after 3 years?)
Paid predials on 12/16/20 at 11 am, it took no more than 10 minutes, there was one person ahead of me. All I brought with me was a copy of last years predials and a tarjeta to pay. Paying now in December yields a nice discount.

Assuming you aren't 60 and eligible to get an INAPAM card?

You lucky dog!!!

Of course, not that we are much older than that!

Well I guess you are the second person I know with the bank on the Predial.

However this is not common practice. I would seek legal advise outside of City Hall.

A side note: this office is the new location where you apply/receive your drivers' license.

Just to clarify- so it's not in the same place where I paid my 2020 taxes?
I think that was the "DIF" office.
Also the same building I applied for my INAPAM card earlier this year.

I have never applied for a driver's license so I am not familiar with that office.

The current place to pay predial (property tax) is in the Palacio Municipal or city hall (beside Bodega Aurrea).It's the same location as last year. I noticed this time on the electronic menu was the select button titled driver's license. I asked and they confirmed, the process is now performed in this office.

Your comment makes me realize I have the offices confused.
I'll figure it out...eventually...

Very interesting thread.
The previous two years we paid predial cash on site. Last year was a little painful ( it took the administration long to aknowledge our new Fideicomiso). If I could avoid it I would. I have questions :
1) What is the alternate solution to "in Person" ?
2) Has anybody paid with a Canadian credit card ?
3) Do you know if the office is open on Saturday ?
Thank you for sharing your infinite knowledge :-D .

We checked out paying online, and it was available, but the INAPAM discount isn't available online.

We used a US credit card the last two years with no issues, so it should be fine with any countries cards.

Perfect Experience Report:
We went Tuesday around 3:15PM.
There were far more clerks than customers.
It took only 10 minutes. Never had time to seat down in the waiting room.
I paid with my Canadian CC, no fee. Presented my passport but the cashier didn't check it.
The final amount was 18% lower than the two previous years !?! I didn't complain :-)
