What do I need to sell land in Mexico?
Don’t make this common mistake when selling your land
One of the most common mistakes when trying to sell land is not having the legal documents and requirements in order from the start. To avoid complications that could delay the sale, here are the key requirements you’ll need to meet when selling land in Mexico.
- Title of Ownership
The title of ownership is one of the most important documents to have in order. This document proves that you are the legitimate owner of the land and have the rights to sell it. At Coldwell Banker, we carefully review your title of ownership to ensure there are no legal issues that could affect the transaction. - Payment of Taxes and Contributions
To sell your land, it’s essential to be up to date with the payment of property taxes and other fees associated with the property. If there are any outstanding debts, the sale process can be delayed until these payments are settled. Our team can help you review these tax obligations to avoid delays. - Certificate of Freedom from Liens
This document certifies that your land is free of debts or legal restrictions that would prevent its sale. You will need to obtain this certificate from the Public Property Registry to ensure that the land is free of encumbrances and can be sold without issues. - Land Appraisal
A professional appraisal is necessary to determine the real value of your land. This document is crucial for both you and potential buyers, as it sets a fair price based on the market and the land’s characteristics. At Coldwell Banker, we collaborate with certified appraisers to provide an accurate and competitive estimate. - Permits and Zoning
Depending on the location and size of the land, certain municipal permits or zoning regulations may need to be reviewed. These permits are essential to know whether the land can be used for specific projects, such as commercial, residential, or industrial developments. A Coldwell Banker advisor can guide you in reviewing and obtaining the necessary permits.
