Sedetus Urges Caution: Tulum Developers Without Permits Face Scrutiny

Tulum, Mexico The Secretaría de Desarrollo Territorial Urbano Sustentable (Sedetus) and Tulum's city government are sending a clear message to buyers: stay away from Yaax Taanil Kaah and Zonot Kaahah developments, both lacking the necessary permits and certificates. These two projects, currently advertised on Facebook, are under judicial and administrative scrutiny, putting potential buyers at risk.

The developments, located in the municipality of Tulum, are flagged for not complying with the state's Law of Human Settlements, Territorial Planning and Urban Development, its Law of Urban Actions, and its Law of Condominium Property. Sedetus has warned that engaging in any transaction with these projects could result in contributing to crimes against urban development and jeopardizing personal assets.

While Sedetus provides an online registry for checking development permit status, the lack of specific details about the court cases and the entities involved adds uncertainty. For expats and digital nomads considering investments or purchases, it's crucial to verify all permits and stay informed about ongoing legal proceedings. The city’s recent actions underscore the importance of due diligence in the local real estate market.
