FAQ

Thinking of buying land in Troncones?

Here’s what you should know before making this paradise your home.

Can foreigners buy property in Troncones?

Absolutely. Foreigners can legally own property near the coast through a bank trust called a fideicomiso or by setting up a Mexican corporation. Most residential buyers choose the fideicomiso, which lets you enjoy all the rights of ownership — to sell, rent, build, or pass it on — just like any Mexican citizen.
We can connect you with trusted notaries and lawyers who handle the process clearly and safely.

What types of properties are available in Troncones?

Troncones offers a variety of options — oceanfront homes, jungle lots, hilltop land with views, and ready-to-build parcels near the main road. Whether you’re dreaming of a small bungalow, investment property, or spacious piece of land to create your own retreat, there’s something for every lifestyle.

How do I know if the property has a clear title?

Before any transaction, it’s important to confirm the property’s legal status. In this area, land can be either titled, in process of title, or ejido land (communal land).
Our role is to help you understand what type of property you’re looking at and connect you with a qualified notary or lawyer who can verify all documents before any deposit is made.

What are the steps to buying property in Mexico?
  1. Choose your property and agree on the purchase terms.
  2. A notary or lawyer prepares the purchase contract and verifies ownership.
  3. The bank trust or corporation setup begins (for foreign buyers).
  4. Once everything is approved, both parties sign before the notary.
  5. The property is officially registered in your name (or trust).

The whole process typically takes 6–10 weeks, depending on the documentation.

How much are closing costs?

Expect to pay around 5–7% of the purchase price in closing costs. These cover notary fees, registration, permits, and taxes. Each case varies slightly depending on the property’s value and location.
We can help you estimate the total before you commit to ensure there are no surprises.

Can I build on the land I buy?

In most cases, yes! You’ll just need to verify zoning and obtain a local construction permit from the municipality. If you’re buying raw land, we can help you connect with local architects and builders who understand the area’s materials, style, and environmental requirements.

What should I know about infrastructure and utilities?

Troncones and its nearby communities have growing infrastructure — electricity, Wi-Fi, and water vary by area. Some lots are fully serviced, others are off-grid, perfect for sustainable living. We’ll always clarify each property’s access to services and possible costs for improvements.

Do you help with rentals or investment properties?

Yes. Many buyers look to rent their property when they’re not here. We can connect you with local property managers and offer honest advice on what areas attract seasonal guests and long-term rentals.

How do I make payments or transfer funds?

Most property sales in this region are handled by wire transfer to a notary’s escrow account or the seller’s account (depending on the structure). For transparency and safety, all transfers should be reviewed by your notary or legal representative.
