For International Buyers
Foreign Ownership
Made Simple
Yes, foreigners can legally own property in Mexico. For properties within the restricted zone (50 km from the coast), a bank trust called a fideicomiso is required. This is a well-established, secure legal mechanism that grants you full ownership rights.
- Full ownership rights through fideicomiso bank trust
- Trust is renewable and transferable to heirs
- No restrictions on property use, rental, or sale
- Process typically completed in 4-8 weeks
- Annual trust fee approximately $500-$800 USD
