Dave and I purchased a new condo in Mazatlan. It was and is still in construction completion. We have payed a large part of costs, but have a final payment due at closing. So technically we don't own it nor can reside in it because things are not finished. Today we got a bill from developers for property taxes. We are technically not owners yet. Since it is not a residence of ours yet and no final paperwork that shows we own it, we feel it is not our responsibility yet to pay property taxes. We have contacted a notary that would represent us at closing. We will contact her about this. Any thoughts? Wisdom? experience?
