Important notice from the New Mexico Property Tax Division as of September 19, 2012

With respect to properties appearing on the tax delinquency list, County Treasurers may not accept partial payments under any circumstances and may only accept payment of all delinquent taxes, penalties, interest and costs due on the property for all delinquent years.

All delinquent taxes, penalties, interest and costs must be collected before a property is removed from the tax delinquency list. This principle is established by: If you have any questions, please contact Darrel Lujan, Bureau Chief by e-mail at darrelll@state.nm.us or Roy Sandoval, In House Title Examiner Supervisor by e-mail at RF.Sandoval@state.nm.us or by phone at 505-827-0883
Pay your property taxes online. Select the property type you want to pay from the list below and click the submit button to take you to a secure payment page.


Paying taxes is never easy. As Treasurer my job is to make that payment as painless as possible and customers have told me they wanted to pay by credit and debit card, especially those cards which give rewards.
Credit card and debit card companies charge a fee to businesses or governments who accept their cards. That fee is usually based on the dollar amount charged. Since most property tax payments are large, the fee for each payment can be a significant expense. Since most customers still use paper checks, the cost of taking credit and debit cards would require additional tax dollars to provide a service which will not be used by most taxpayers. To offset these costs, New Mexico law specifically provides for a convenience fee to be added to those transactions which would give our customers the option to use that form of payment if they wanted to pay a fee.

In November this year, we began offering credit card payments on our web site and in the office. The convenience fee is 2.50% for property tax payments. The convenience fee is added to your tax payment and is paid to the company which processes the credit card transactions.

I will continue to strive to offer you the most courteous, convenient and cost effective service possible. Obviously, as technology and the marketplace change, this office will also change. If you have any suggestions, comments or questions about credit cards or any way this office can improve our services, do not hesitate to let me know.
