The mayor of Uruapan, Grecia Quiroz, may face significant political repercussions that could derail her ambitions for 2027 following a considerable increase in property tax collection that is being investigated for irregularities. Lawmakers and concerned citizens have formally filed a request with the Michoacán Superior Audit Office to examine the process of property tax assessment, which they argue did not meet the legal requirements necessary for such adjustments.

According to local legislator Conrado Paz Torres, the Congress only authorized a maximum inflation adjustment of 6 percent; however, the actual property tax bills exceeded this amount significantly. This discrepancy has raised concerns among the petitioners about the legality of the tax increase. The rising dissatisfaction among citizens regarding tax policies, compounded by the potential investigation, threatens Quiroz's standing and future political career.

As the inquiry unfolds, the implications of these allegations could extend beyond local governance, affecting public trust and political dynamics in Uruapan. If a disqualification occurs, it would send a stark message about accountability and adherence to legal protocols in municipal administrations, thereby influencing similar future tax assessments in other regions.
