Modifications to the 2025 Annual Operating Program and the “Buen Fin 2025” tax incentive program were approved, along with other administrative and urban development agreements.
During the Twenty-Sixth Ordinary Session of the City Council, an initiative was presented to create the Housing and Regularization Directorate, to end illegal land occupations and establish clear legalization mechanisms that protect both private property and the rights of families living in areas without documentation.
The proposal seeks to institutionally address a problem that has increased in recent years: the invasion of private properties, the informal buying and selling of land, and the lack of legal certainty regarding ownership. The new directorate aims to create an orderly regularization process, with verifiable and transparent procedures that prevent dispossession and speculation.
According to the proposal, the Housing and Regularization Directorate will be responsible for identifying, diagnosing, and monitoring areas with irregular settlements, in coordination with state and federal agencies. It will also negotiate agreements with ejidos (communal landowners’ associations) and individuals to offer legal alternatives for access to land and decent housing, without resorting to occupation or invasion.
During the session, it was highlighted that land regulation will provide legal security to thousands of families living in precarious conditions, while protecting private property and strengthening the municipality’s urban order. The importance of ensuring that all occupation or sales of land is carried out with valid documentation and through legal procedures was also emphasized.
The initiative also proposes the creation of a municipal registry of irregular settlements, which will allow for the precise location of affected areas and the establishment of regularization measures in coordination with landowners and agrarian authorities. The objective is to prevent outsiders from taking advantage of the need for housing and promoting invasions for profit or political manipulation.
At the same session, the City Council approved the Fifth Amendment to the 2025 Annual Operating Program, which includes adjustments to public works and social initiatives for the close of the fiscal year. The “Buen Fin 2025” Subsidy, Discount, and Tax Incentive Program was also authorized, aimed at facilitating the regularization of municipal contributions.
José Gabriel Pérez Álvarez was also sworn in as the new head of the Municipal Youth Institute, and preparations for the Fifth Public and Solemn Session were approved, where the “Recognition of Outstanding Women of the Municipality” will be presented.
Another agreement was the initiation of joint committee work between the Finance, Assets, and Accounting Commission and the Urban Development Commission, intending to improve coordination between the financial and territorial planning areas.
