Fresh produce and meats vary depending on season and seasonal conditions.
Predial/Property tax hovers at .06% (you can't beat that)
Car Tags and Taxes
Our vehicles:
travel trailer 409 pesos
VW Pointer 1461 pesos tags and tenencia (annual downward adjustment tax)
SUV 877 pesos
Full coverage insurance for all three vehicles including U.S. 17,000 pesos
Electric max allowed usage 765 pesos per month
4/45 kilo cylinders of LP per year 2200 pesos
Groceries (including liquor/wine) 800 pesos per week average for 2017
Telephone/Internet/Dish 540 pesos per month
With the exception of gasoline, we have seen little to no increase in prices. Most of what we hear every year at this time is the same old socialist line about how the government is out to screw everyone. Believe what you will.
Things are definitely changing and it all looks for the better in the long run. I mean really, what other country gives you a 20% discount on all your taxes if you pay them by the end of February?
You want to talk bad, think about Venezuela. We could have gone down that road but Mexico made a turn over 20 years ago. Amen to that.
P.S. Airline prices are still cheaper in Mexico than the U.S. I flew three weeks ago to Houston from Monterrey for $169 r/t including open bar and snacks. Best price from McAllen was $362. MTY to LAX $209. All the American airlines have extremely high prices and are not passing on the fuel savings to customers.
