Cancún Property Tax Discounts Extended Through September

The Benito Juárez municipal government confirmed that its property tax discounts — 50% off surcharges and 100% off fines — remain available to residents who settle their bills by September 30, 2026. The benefit was offered in person during the latest edition of the traveling outreach day "Día del Pueblo, Cancún nos Une por la Transformación," held July 16 at the José María Morelos sports dome, popularly known as "Toro Valenzuela."

That edition brought together more than 130 municipal, state and federal procedures and services under one roof, running until 3:00 p.m. The event was led by Landy Guadalupe Canché Pantoja, officer in charge of the Municipal Presidency's office, who also held direct citizen hearings with residents raising specific concerns.

Among the tax benefits the city is keeping open through late September is the option for property owners with debts spanning several years to settle only the last five fiscal years, under a statute-of-limitations provision applied by the Municipal Treasury, on top of the 50% surcharge discount and full forgiveness of accumulated fines.

According to the Municipal Secretariat of Welfare, the "Día del Pueblo" program — running since the start of the current administration — has reached 49 editions and served more than 76,680 people across different neighborhoods and at City Hall, including 874 citizen hearings in which 1,490 residents were heard directly by the officer in charge.

What does this mean for Cancún residents? The traveling format is designed to bring procedures that normally require a trip to central offices — property tax payments, licenses, certificates, health guidance — closer to different parts of the city, cutting lines and wait times for people who cannot get to a counter on a regular business day. For property owners carrying back taxes, the window through September 30 is a concrete opportunity to get current before the discounts expire and full surcharges and fines resume.

The next edition is scheduled for Thursday, July 23, at City Hall (Palacio Municipal), located at Avenida Tulum No. 5, Supermanzana 5. Residents who cannot wait until then do not have to: property tax payments with the same discounts can be processed directly at the Municipal Treasury's cashier windows on regular business days, without attending a traveling outreach day. Taxpayers with outstanding balances are advised to confirm their updated amount at the Treasury before September 30, since the municipal government has not announced terms for payments made after that date.
