The Baja California Congress has approved Playas de Rosarito’s 2026 revenue plan, setting the city’s budget for next year without raising property tax rates.
The plan allows the city to collect just over 1.26 billion pesos in 2026 to fund public services such as maintenance, local programs, and municipal operations.
What’s not changing:
Property tax rates will stay the same. Homeowners will continue to pay a general rate of 2.75 per thousand, and properties zoned for industrial use will remain at 0.85 per thousand. City officials said the decision was made to avoid adding pressure to household budgets.
What is changing:
The city updated its property value map, which is used to estimate how much a property is worth. These updates reflect population growth and urban development, not a tax hike. New valuation zones were added, some were removed, and others adjusted, but the tax rate itself did not increase.
City estimates show that more than 60% of property owners will still pay the minimum property tax, meaning most households will not see a noticeable increase.
The plan also keeps the birth certificate fee at 245 pesos in 2026, maintaining access to the document at a low cost.
City officials said the goal of the revenue plan is to keep municipal finances stable, update outdated property records, and continue funding public services without raising taxes on most residents.
