Lote (Lot)LOH-teh
Lote is an individual parcel of land within a subdivision (fraccionamiento), identified by a unique lot number. State subdivision laws define a lote as the fraction of land resulting from the division of a larger property (predio).

How it works
Lots in Mexico are identified by their lot number within a manzana (block), appearing in addresses as Manzana 214, Lote 22. The catastro (cadastral registry) assigns each lot a unique identifier. Minimum lot dimensions are set by state and municipal law, typically 150 to 600 square meters for residential use, though tourist and agricultural lots can be significantly larger. Asking prices in the Riviera Maya in November 2026 range from approximately USD 28,999 for a 4,700 square meter lot in Tulum to USD 103,040 for an 800 square meter lot in a residential development, with beachfront and large development parcels reaching millions of dollars. Buyers purchase lots either to build a custom home immediately or as a land-banking investment; most residential fraccionamientos deliver lots with utilities (water, electricity, drainage) already installed to the lot line, though buyers should verify infrastructure and confirm the escritura clearly describes the lot boundaries and indiviso (common-area share) before closing.
