Not included above, because these are negotiated or set per transaction rather than published as a fixed rate: the acquisition tax (ISAI, a municipal percentage that varies by municipality), notary fees, appraisal, registry fees and title insurance. Those come from your notary and closing agent, and I can walk you through them for this specific property. Each one is broken down, concept by concept, in the guide to closing costs in Los Cabos.

A foreign buyer on this coast holds title through a Mexican bank trust rather than directly. How it works, what it costs each year and how it is renewed is explained in the guide to the fideicomiso, the Mexican bank trust.
