Real estate owners in Puerto Vallarta and the surrounding area need to pay their Property Tax (Predial) which came due on January 1. Although property taxes are much lower here than in foreign destinations they still need to be paid. The city of Puerto Vallarta has made it easy to pay your taxes online.
You can go to the Clerk's office at City Hall and wait in a line to make payment in cash or with a credit card (no checks are accepted) or you can pay online with a credit card.
If your Property Tax payment is paid in January you will receive a 15% discount. If paid in February 10% and in March, the discount is 5%. If you afre a Mexican national, you can also get a 50% discount if you are 60-75 years old, a 60% discount if you are 75-79 years old, and 80% if you are over 80.
To pay online, go to Puerto Vallarta Predial and enter your account number in the Cuenta box and the U-Urbano in the Tipo box. It shows the bill with the current discount and just hit the Pagar con Tarjeta, then Tarjeta de credito de cualquier Banco. It says there will be a commission (about a dollar), fill in the info and telephone and email address, then hit "Realizar Pago". On completion, you will see the receipt and they will send you a paid notice to your email.
