How To Buy Property in Mexico
The quest for par at the perfect beach has led to the development of oceanside golf resorts around the world. For years, however, Mexico’s 6,000
miles of spectacular coastlines were overlooked because of Mexico’s restrictive property ownership laws.
Thanks to recent shifts in Mexico’s foreign development policies and concerted efforts to attract foreign development dollars, that situation clearly
has changed. For the fist time, non-Mexicans have real access to fairway homes con unspoiled beachfront property.
It’s easy to understand the lure of pristine beaches in such accessible sites. Now one question looms in the minds of many Americans. How do
I go about buying residential resort property in Mexico?”
The answer, though seemingly complex, is really fairly simple. Guillermo Ohem, Minister for Tourism Affairs, U.S. Embassy of Mexico,
Washington, D.C., explains that you can acquire ownership rights to property in what is known as the “restricted zone” through a 50 years
renewable, transferable bank trust. The trust is a legal substitute for fee simple ownership, but in this case, the trustee is the legal holder of the
property.
“As a trustee”, says Ohem, “the Mexican bank acts on behalf of the foreign beneficiary in transactions involving the property held in trust. However
the beneficiary retains the use and control of the property held in trust, and, except for direct acquisitions, makes the investment decisions with
respect to the property”.
As beneficiary, you have the right to use, lease, improve or sell the property without restriction, to transfer your rights a third party, or the pass the
property on the named heirs. In essence, you have the same absolute rights to use and enjoy the property as if you owned it in fee.
HOW IT CAME ABOUT
Historically, the “trust solution” was a long time coming, The prohibition of foreign ownership of property in the “restricted zone” goes back to
1917. At that time, the Mexican Constitution prohibited foreigners from holding legal title or exercising direct property rights in an area located
within 60 miles of Mexico’s borders and 30 miles of its coastlines.
Luis Hermosillo owner of Real Estate Services International in Montebello, California, and RESERI, its Mexican counterpart, explains that while
foreigners were not allowed to legally purchase property in the restricted zone, it was frequently done through the use of a “straw man”. That
illegal system had may failings. Foreigners who paid for property had no protection if the “straw man” decided to keep it.
“A wave of international problems built up” Hermosillo recalls, “and in 1971, the Mexican government felt it was best to protect the interests of
foreign owners by developing the trust system. Under that system, title to property is never conveyed. Bare legal title is held in trust by Mexican
bank, but the bank can never sell or change the property in any way unless it is approved by the beneficiary of the trust.”
Originally, trusts were established for 10 years. The Foreign Investment Law of 1971, codified in 1973, made it possible for foreigners to obtain
trust interests in land for up to 30 years. In 1989, the restrictions were eased further. Regulation were passed to promote “Mexican Investment
and Regulate Foreign Investment”. Those regulations enabled foreign owners to apply for successive 30 -year trusts. In effect, that meant a trust
could run in perpetuity.
As 1993 drew to a close, explains Los Angeles attorney David Ellsworth, senior partner and chairman of the Real Estate Section of the
law firm Morgan Lewis & Bockius, and legal counsel for FONATUR, Mexico’s National Trust Fund for the Development of Tourism, as well as
many Mexican and private sector developers active in Mexico, “substantially all of the 1989 regulations, with a few significant changes, were
codified into law and became effective January 1, 1994. The most significant change is that the term of the trust was increased from 30 to 50
years”.
HOW THE TRUST WORKS
The three parties involved in the trust are the seller of the property (the trustor), the buyer (the beneficiary or Fideicomisario), and the Mexican
bank of your choice (the Trustee of Fiduciario). Some of the banks operate in partnership with banks in the U.S. and Canada, and all are secured
by the Central Bank of Mexico.
Establishing the trust is easy, according to Ohem. “A foreign person or company interested in purchasing real estate in the restricted area selects
a Mexican bank to act as trustee with respect to the property. The investor then furnishes certain basic information to the trustee, which in turn
applies to Mexico’s Secretariat of Foreign Affairs for a permit authorizing the trust. Once the permit has been obtained,” he continues, “the trustee
and other parties involved contact a notary public to draw up a deed for the property. That trustee registers the trust with the National Registry
for Foreign Investment”. Then, you can begin enjoying your property.
There’s no need to fear hidden charges. Your closing costs, for example, typically average between 3& to 5% of the purchase price. Those
charges are determined by the declared property value, which is usually the same as the sales price. That value then becomes the basis for all
related taxes and fees. Generally, the seller pays for teal estate fees; the buyer is responsible for transfer tax and the cost of establishing the
bank trust (if it isn’t already in existence), notary fees, tax appraisal fees and trust permits fees. To ensure your loan is closed in a timely fashion,
trust permits are granted by Mexico’s Secretariat of Foreign Affairs within 45 days of the date the application was presented.
If , at later date, you decide to sell the property, anyone can buy it. If the new buyer is also a foreigner, you simply assign your beneficial interest.
The foreign buyer, upon application, automatically receives his own renewable 50 year permit. If, on the other hand, you sell to a Mexican National,
the bank can endorse the fee title in favor of the buyer.
As a prudent investor, you’ve no doubt considered taxes. Mexico’s annual property taxes are approximately .8% of the assessed value for tax
purposes, and just recently, Hermosillo notes, transfer taxes fell to 2% from a one-time high of 10%.
The United States and Mexico, Ellsworth explains, have a tax treaty which subjects American buyers to all applicable Mexican laws and taxes as
well as to U.S. taxes. As a general rule, he says, you will be granted credit by the U.S. government for taxes paid in Mexico. But for detailed
answers to specific tax and legal questions, it is always best to consult your attorney and/or tax specialist.
GOLF COURSE DEVELOPMENTS ALREADY UNDER WAY.
Announcements by American firms such as Sunrise Company to build country club communities in Mexico coincide with the recent legislation.
Sunrise Company is well known throughout Southern California for building more than 10,000 homes in seven country clubs. Now says Sunrise
Company President Jack Conlon.
Sunrise is developing two country club communities in Mexico.
“One of the primary reasons we’re venturing into Mexico”, Colon explains, “is that it’s now become feasible for Americans to own coastal residential
property there because of the new laws enacted by the government. These laws give non-Mexican their first real access to pristine beachfront
property”.
With the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in place, experts predict an even more attractive investment climate in Mexico. Resort
areas are expected to develop at a rapid pace. For individual property owners, the sun is just rising on oceanside property located south of the
border.
