1. When is the state sale? How does it work?: http://www.tax.newmexico.gov/Businesses/delinquent-property-tax-upcoming-auctions.aspx

2. I need to change my mailing address?: Contact the Assessor's office @ 575-885-3813.

3. How can I get a copy of my deed?: Deeds are filed with the County Clerk's office @ 575-885-3383.

4. I did not receive a tax bill.: 7-38-36. The validity of the tax, the time at which the tax is payable or any subsequent proceeding instituted for the collection of the tax is not affected by the failure of a person to receive his/her tax bill.

5. Whose responsible for property taxes?: 7-38-47. Property taxes imposed are the personal obligation of the person owning the property on the date on which the property was subject to valuation (Jan. 1) for property taxation purposes and a personal judgment may be rendered against him for the payment of property taxes that are delinquent together with any penalty and interest on the delinquent taxes. The sale or transfer of property after its valuation (Jan. 1) date does not relieve the former owner of personal liability for the property taxes imposed for that tax year.
