Our Services

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.

What Our Clients Say

Tulum is not one market: four different scenarios

What sets the calendar in the Tulum municipality is the state environmental authority. SEMA is involved in practically every project, and its authorisation precedes the municipal licence: without it the town hall will not open a file. That puts the typical process at three to six months, against four to ten weeks for a purely municipal job in Playa del Carmen or inland Cancún.

The regions — 8, 12, 15 — carry their own cadastral numbering and services that arrive unevenly: the CFE connection and drainage are resolved lot by lot, not neighbourhood by neighbourhood. It is the most accessible entry point and the one that produces the most feasibility surprises.

Aldea Zamá and Selvazama add a master plan and a committee: density and height capped in advance, and the tree inventory driving where the house can sit. Tulum Centro is urban work between built party walls with live street logistics. The coastal strip stacks SEMARNAT and ZOFEMAT on top of SEMA, and there the calendar moves to six or twelve months.

What the ground and the authority impose in Tulum

Before the design and before the budget, this is what applies in this zone:

• Municipality: Tulum
• Environmental regime: SEMA; SEMARNAT on the coastal strip
• Ground: karst under low jungle
• Water table: mid depth
• Salt exposure: depends on the sub-zone
• Access: Highway 307 and internal roads

The state SEMA sets the calendar; the environmental file is the rule, not the exception.

• Federal SEMARNAT filing: the environmental resolution is the project’s critical path. Budget 4–8 months before the first excavation.
• State SEMA authorisation comes before the municipal licence: without it the town hall will not open a file.
• Karst ground: a soil study with void verification before you price the foundation. A cavity found after the pour costs more than the entire study.
