Foreign buyers need a licence
Within 50km of the coast — which is all of the Riviera Maya and the whole Yucatán seaboard — a foreigner cannot hold residential title directly. Ownership is held through a fideicomiso, a bank trust running 50 years and renewable, with the buyer as beneficiary holding full rights to use, let, improve and sell. It requires a permit from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and carries an annual bank fee for as long as it is held.
