Documents to list your property
The same whether it is to rent or to sell. We publish it in full from the start so you can gather it calmly and discover nothing on signing day.

Why all of this is asked for
NOM-247 makes listing a property conditional on having its complete file. You can start the process from day one —in fact you should— but advertising it requires everything to be in place.
And there is a reason that shows up later: almost everything that stalls a deal at the notary can be resolved beforehand, if it is looked at beforehand. An unpaid property tax, a spouse who has to appear, a parking space that is not where everyone assumed. Checking at the start costs a week; discovering it at the end costs the deal.

A Mexican ID or passport. If you are a foreign national, your legal residency.
Current. It downloads online in a minute.
Your current RFC certificate, from the SAT portal. It is the one most often missing, because almost nobody associates it with renting or selling.
Only if the notary asks for it. With your ID and your CURP it is normally unnecessary: the CURP is derived from the certificate’s data.
Recent. Electricity, water or phone.
If you are married, with your spouse’s certificate and ID. Under community property they must appear to sign, and that is decided by the marital status you had when you acquired it, not the one you have today.

Registered with the Public Registry. It is what states the real surface area: when the listing and the deed disagree, the deed wins.
Without the property tax paid up, nothing gets signed, neither for rent nor for sale. It is asked for at the start: a debt discovered on the last day cannot be settled on the last day.
That there is no mortgage, lien or litigation. It is the only document that expires quickly: one from eight months ago says nothing about today.
From the last six months. A single paid bill does not rule out a debt from four months back.
If whoever is offering the property is not the person named on the deed.

It states what is common area and what is private, and who the parking space belongs to — because «covered» describes the roof, it does not say whose it is.
What it actually allows regarding pets, short-term rentals, remodelling and hours. When the rules and the owner say different things, we publish what the rules say.
It also carries the current fee, which is almost always different from the one you remember.
What we do with them
What gets advertised has to hold up line by line.
We cross-check what the papers say against what is going to be published: the deed’s surface area against the listing’s, what the rules allow against what is being offered, who the parking space belongs to. If something does not add up, it gets resolved beforehand and not at the notary.
Then we hand you the written valuation opinion, with the comparables cited and the methodology explained, so the asking price is a decision and not a hunch.
Getting started
Almost nobody has them all at hand, and that stops nothing: you can start with what you have and gather the rest along the way. Write to us and we will tell you exactly which ones you are missing and where each one is obtained.
