Mexico City Bill Would Require One Hour of Free Parking With Proof of Purchase

The proposal, cast as protection from a “double charge,” now sits with the Local Public Administration Committee for review.

Overview

  • Morena deputy Pedro Haces Lago introduced a reform to Article 10 of the city’s Commercial Establishments Law.
  • Businesses that offer parking, including those run by third parties, would have to provide at least 60 continuous minutes free to customers who show a ticket or invoice.
  • The measure targets plazas and shopping centers, cinemas, restaurants and private hospitals that provide on-site parking for patrons.
  • The plan does not make parking entirely free, as regular fees could apply after the first hour and validation details would be set during committee work.
  • The initiative remains under legislative review before any plenary vote and possible publication in the city’s official gazette.
