What Gobierno de Mexicali does

The Gobierno de Mexicali (legal name: 25 Ayuntamiento de Mexicali) is the municipal government of Mexicali, capital of the state of Baja California, Mexico. Founded in 1903, it serves a population of approximately 1.083 million inhabitants across 9,955 km² and operates under the leadership of Presidenta Municipal Norma Bustamante for the 2025-2027 term. The entity provides comprehensive municipal services including public safety (DSPM), urban planning and development, environmental protection, social welfare, cultural programs, sports, animal control, citizen attention (072), emergencies (911), and economic development support.

Its operational architecture centers on a digital portal ecosystem (portalmexicali.gob.mx, autofacturacion.mexicali.gob.mx, presupuestoparticipativo.mexicali.gob.mx) supporting property tax (Predial) collection, electronic invoicing, participatory budgeting, transparency reporting, and administrative procedures. Service delivery flows through 22 wholly-owned paramunicipal entities including BISOM (social welfare), DIF (family development), IMACUM (culture), IMDECUF (sports), CDIM (industrial development), COTUCO (tourism), SIMUTRA (transportation), CUMM (urban development), IMIP (urban research), IMJUM (youth), and CEMCA (animal control), plus community service centers across the city and Mexicali Valley.

The revenue model comprises four streams: (1) recurring property tax (Impuesto Predial) with discount programs for early payment and debt resolution, (2) federal and state allocations including FORTASEG for security, (3) transactional municipal fees for business permits, construction permits, alcohol licenses, vehicle services, and public space usage, and (4) historically debt financing (Simple Credit facilities of $370.5M and $600M from 2020, fully liquidated by January 2021). The municipality holds AAA credit ratings from Fitch Ratings and HR Ratings, and serves a customer base spanning 1.083 million residents and 8,171 formal businesses in the tertiary sector, with 1,570 construction firms (14% of active employers) as a key regulated segment.
