Building in Tulum as a Foreigner

You can legally own and build in Tulum through a fideicomiso (bank trust) — we guide you through it and coordinate with the notary. Tulum is the most regulated market in the Riviera Maya: every build needs SEMA environmental authorization ($50,000–$150,000 MXN, 2–4 months), jungle lots need clearing permits with compensatory replanting, and most projects include a cistern and water treatment because CAPA supply is limited.

We know every zone: Aldea Zamá (premium residential), La Veleta & Región 15 (best investment-to-rent ratio), the Hotel Zone (eco-hotels under coastal rules). With the international airport and Maya Train open, land values rose 30–50% — building still costs 25–40% less than buying finished.
