The City Council informed by today's newspapes that today, wednesday 31 of march, is the last day for the "hermosillenses" to pay the property taxes or better known as "predial".
The property tax is a tax imposed by the constitution that is supposed to be collected by the town council. All the citizens are supposed to pay it.
The quantity to pay is established by applying the customs of lands and unit prices of building; these prices are established by the "Consejo Nacional de Tasaciones" and anually proved by the "Ministro de Transportes, Comunicaciones, Vivienda y Construcción".
However, the main problem observed with this is that those assesments are done most of the times by people that do not have enough knowledge about it, bringing into consecuence that the determined values are below the real ones.
Owning to the fact of the things exposed, many citizens have expressed a disatisfaction because of the exorbitant pays that they are supposed to do the last days.
None the less, the city council is demandind the pay of the property taxes until today, wednesday march 31. They offer a variety of places in which they can pay; the city council just want us to pay.
They explain that the money collected is used to better the public services, the infraestructure of streets, as well as to provide a well-equiped city, and even a property insurance.
However, the custom is not lost: the government tries to win $$$ as usually, so they establish that if the tax is not payed for the due date, citizens would have to pay an extra 3%, and so on.
We have two options: Either continue paying on time and save yourself that 3% extra, but at the same time keeping yourself enslaved; or don't paying it but taking the risk of paying extra charges.
