In reply to Troy Letsche. Hello Troy, Some municipalities offer a discount on the annual Predial to INAPAM card holders, and many also offer discounts for prompt payment. Terms and discounts vary by location. Contact your local Ayuntamiento and ask for guidance.

Can anyone clarify if this affects the 50% predial property tax discount for those over 60? I recently became eligible and when I search the process to obtain the tax discount, it references use of the INAPAM card.

In reply to Cheri Hoffer. Yes, because part of the paperwork is a comprobante which means you need to live where you apply.

In reply to Max. It is not policy. It became law early last year no matter what foreing country you are from

In reply to Barry Sullender. I have attempted (as a permanent resident) in many states and have been denied because I do not have naturalization papers

In March 2026, my wife and I sought to apply as permanent residents in Mazatlan and was informed one must be a citizen. Apparently this is new since January, 2026. Notably, we were accompanied by a representative from CAPTA who himself was unaware of the new restrictions.

In reply to william W drake. Same for me except after some pressing they stated that they could get me the card but are waiting for the forms from Guadalajara. They took my phone number on a random slip of paper and even asked for a 2nd number to call so I provided that of my wife. Six weeks later and no call. I might try one more time because I went to so much trouble and the expense of getting those photos.

In reply to P Diane Schneider. I also went to the office in León as a permanent resident in 2025 and was told I needed naturalization papers. Which branch did you go to?
