Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua – Municipal President Héctor Rafael Ortiz Orpinel announced on Monday, November 9, 2026, that property taxes in Ciudad Juárez will remain unchanged throughout the 2027 fiscal year. The decision includes a freeze on inflationary adjustments, providing relief to local taxpayers.
During his weekly press conference, Mayor Ortiz Orpinel explained that the initiative is part of the municipal government’s strategic planning for the upcoming 2027 Revenue Law. The decision follows a series of internal meetings held last week between the Mayor, the Municipal Treasury, and other administrative departments to review financial projections.
Key Details of the Property Tax Freeze
According to the Mayor, the measure ensures that property owners will pay the exact same amount in 2027 as they did in 2026, provided that the characteristics and conditions of their properties remain unchanged. This policy marks a significant departure from typical annual fiscal adjustments.
“In Ciudad Juárez, there will be no increase in property taxes next year. This is very important because there will be no increase at all, not even based on the inflationary index,” stated Ortiz Orpinel.
Conditions and Context
The Mayor clarified that this freeze applies specifically to properties that do not undergo modifications. Consequently, real estate transactions, property improvements, or other changes to the registered status of a property could still result in adjustments to the tax calculation.
This policy is supported by the improved efficiency in municipal tax collection and the high rate of compliance among citizens who have recently regularized their accounts. The Mayor noted that previous efforts to update cadastral value tables-which had remained unchanged for over 15 years-have successfully stabilized the reference values used for calculating municipal contributions.
Next Steps
While the proposal has been agreed upon with the Municipal Treasury, it must still be formally integrated into the 2027 Revenue Law project. The proposal will proceed through the necessary institutional procedures for legislative approval before the new fiscal provisions can take effect.
