Baja California Sur is preparing new restrictions on apartment construction in central urban areas, starting with La Paz. The phenomenon, familiar to many longtime La Paz residents, has been spreading across other parts of the state as well. The regulatory environment for real estate in Baja Sur is already layered with municipal, state and federal rules. The practical takeaway for now is that anyone planning to convert a residence into multiple rental units in La Paz or similar urban centers should probably wait. What is already clear is that Baja Sur’s government is done treating apartment proliferation as someone else’s problem.
