How we verifywhat we publish.
This page describes how Baja Property Insider verifies the information it publishes. It is an editorial standard, not a diligence procedure — it does not describe how a buyer, seller, or owner should investigate a specific property.
What follows is how we verify what we publish. Verification of an actual property — title, permits, boundaries, structures, obligations, or succession arrangements — is a different undertaking entirely, performed on your specific materials by qualified professionals.
Sources we work from
Primary legal texts
We anchor structural guidance to Mexican federal statutes (Ley de Inversión Extranjera, Código Civil Federal) and Baja California Sur state law, working from the official published texts rather than third-party summaries.
Notario and SAT public guidance
For closing mechanics, taxes, and recording, we cross-check against materials published by the Colegio de Notarios and the Servicio de Administración Tributaria (SAT).
Independent attorney review
Substantive articles touching law or procedure are reviewed by our independent attorney partner in Baja California Sur before publication.
Practitioner experience
We compare what we publish against the lived experience of notarios, attorneys, builders, and long-time foreign owners — so the guidance reflects how things actually happen, not just how they read on paper.

The limits of this platform
- —We are not a brokerage. We do not list, show, negotiate, or earn commissions on property.
- —We are not a law firm. Nothing here is legal advice and reading it does not create an attorney-client relationship.
- —Mexican law and local practice change. A correct article today may be out of date tomorrow — confirm with a qualified attorney and your notario before signing.
- —Sample articles labeled as such are illustrative and intentionally brief. They are starting points for a conversation, not a substitute for one.
- —We do not endorse specific listings, agents, brokerages, or developers.
