How much are closing costs for Buying Property in Lake Chapala Mexico?

1. How much are closing costs in Mexico and who pays them?
In Mexico the “BUYER(s)” are responsible for all closing costs, which include “local, state and federal transfer taxes. The largest fees are the land transfer tax, notary fees and the appraisal. These fees are all based on the appraised tax value, not the actual purchase price. In general, the appraised value is about half of the purchase price. The Notary will provide closing cost breakdown prior to closing, itemizing each cost. You cannot avoid these closing costs as a buyer. They are an obligatory part of the legal process that allows a buyer to safely obtain property in Mexico.
Usually it is between 2.5% to 3.5% on the selling price, so to use an example of a home that sold for 200,000 USD, the closing cost would be between 4,000 USD and 7,000 USD.

Although closings costs in Mexico are higher than most are accustomed to in the USA or Canada, property taxes are extremely low. The average yearly property tax for a residential home would be 200 USD.
