Short answer
For an urban residential property in Valladolid, Yucatan, the 2026 municipal law sets annual predial as MXN 80 plus 0.075% of the cadastral value. That formula is not a quote for every property: classification, municipality, cadastral records, exemptions, credits, arrears, and the property's file can change the result. Ask Valladolid's municipal Catastro/Tesoreria office for the current account statement before relying on a number.
Last reviewed: July 13, 2026. This is general information based on Valladolid's 2026 municipal finance law, not a tax calculation or legal opinion for a specific property.
The verified Valladolid formula
Article 48 of the 2026 Ley de Hacienda del Municipio de Valladolid assigns different factors and rates by property class. For urban residential property, it states:
- annual fixed factor: MXN 80;
- annual rate: 0.075% of cadastral value.
Example only: if the municipal cadastral value were MXN 1,000,000 and the urban-residential classification applied without another adjustment, the formula would be MXN 80 + MXN 750. That example does not establish the actual bill. Use the account and classification issued for the specific property.
The law has other classifications and rates. Do not apply the urban-residential line to rural land, commercial property, an undeveloped lot, or a property in another Yucatan municipality without checking the governing municipal law.
When Valladolid predial is paid
The law provides for bimonthly advance payments during the first fifteen days of January, March, May, July, September, and November. A taxpayer choosing the annual-payment option receives the stated discount when the payment is made:
- 10% in January or February;
- 8% in March.
Confirm the account, amount, available payment channel, and current deadline with the municipality. A discount described in the law is not permission to ignore an incorrect classification or an outstanding balance.
Catastro and the Public Property Registry are different
Municipal Catastro maintains cadastral information used for local administration and taxation. The Public Property Registry records rights and registrations affecting title. A cadastral account or predial receipt is not proof of ownership, and a registry record does not by itself confirm that cadastral measurements, construction, or tax records are current.
Before buying, ask the closing notary to compare the deed, registry history, cadastral record, measurements, construction, owner identity, and current predial account. Do not assume an old balance simply becomes the buyer's personal debt; have the notary explain the property's account status and the written closing treatment.
What buyers and owners should request
- The current municipal predial account statement for the exact property.
- The cadastral value and property classification used in the calculation.
- Receipts and a written explanation of any balance, credit, exemption, or correction.
- Confirmation that the deed, registry, Catastro, address, dimensions, and construction describe the same property.
- A property-specific written closing estimate from the selected notary.

Frequently asked questions
Is predial the same throughout Yucatan?
No. Predial is municipal, and rates also vary by property class. This page reports the 2026 Valladolid urban-residential formula; verify another municipality or classification in its own current law and account.
Is market price used instead of cadastral value?
The quoted Valladolid formula uses cadastral value. Market price, contract price, appraisal values, and tax bases can serve different purposes. Ask the notary and relevant authority which value applies to each part of a transaction.
Does a paid predial receipt prove title?
No. It is tax evidence, not a substitute for the deed and Public Property Registry review.
Should I pay an owner's old predial balance before closing?
Do not improvise. Ask the closing notary to obtain the current account, identify any balance or correction, and state in writing how it must be resolved before or at closing.
Where can I verify the amount?
Use Valladolid's municipal Catastro/Tesoreria channels for the exact account. Keep the property identifier and current documents available, because a generic online estimate cannot confirm the file.
