Due Diligence Checklist for Baja Land
- Verify title (escritura) — confirm the seller has clean title, no liens
- Confirm it is NOT ejido land — ejido land cannot be sold to foreigners without a conversion process
- Check flood zone status — some coastal lots flood in hurricane season
- Confirm utilities — water source, CFE electrical access, or off-grid requirements
- Verify buildable status — SEMARNAT restrictions apply to some coastal areas
- Check road access — is it accessible year-round? Paved or dirt?
Not all land in Baja California Sur has clean private title. Ejido land (communal agricultural land) cannot be sold to foreigners without a legal conversion process (regularization). Never purchase land without a notario confirming clear private title. Rio Real Estate verifies title on every property we represent.
Yes. Land within 50 km of the coast is purchased through a fideicomiso (bank trust). This gives you full ownership rights — use, build, rent, sell, or pass to heirs.
Minimum lot sizes vary by municipality. In Mulegé, many buildable lots start at 200 m². Consult with a local architect and the municipal planning office before purchase.
From accepted offer to closing typically takes 60–90 days. Owner-financed properties can close faster.
