Yes, a foreigner can own Real Estate Property in Mexico. A foreigner can buy, sell, lease, develop and even run a business with Real Estate in Mexico. However, if the Real Estate is within 50 kilometers from the coastline (aprox. 31 miles) or 100 kilometers from an international border (aprox. 62 miles), it is in a restriction zone and a foreigner must own it either through a Bank Trust, called a Fideicomiso, or through a company. Nevertheless, the foreign owner has complete ownership rights in either one of these cases.
Owning property in Mexico through a Fideicomiso (Bank Trust) grants foreigners full ownership rights. However, the property title remains in the name of the trustee bank. Typically, real estate trusts for foreigners last 50 years but can be easily renewed. The foreigner can sell, inherit, transfer, or donate the property rights at any time. The trustee bank usually charges a reasonable yearly fee.
