Property-tax appeals in New Mexico
Deadlines, evidence, and a packet you file yourself — for homes, multifamily, and commercial property in New Mexico.
State rules verified from public sources| Deadline rule | Petition of protest filed with the county assessor on or before the later of April 1 of the tax year or 30 days after the assessor mails the notice of valuation (in all other cases, 30 days after mailing) (NMSA 1978, Section 7-38-24(B)). |
|---|---|
| First hearing body | County Valuation Protests Board (the assessor schedules the hearing and gives at least 15 days certified-mail notice); an adverse board decision may be appealed to district court within 30 days of the board order (per the NM Taxation and Revenue Department protest pamphlet). |
Notices of valuation are mailed by April 1 (Section 7-38-20 NMSA). Omitted-property bills carry their own 30-day window (Section 7-38-76). Residential value increases are generally capped at 3% per year until a change of ownership (state rule noted in protest guidance) — verify applicability before relying on it for a specific parcel.
What wins in New Mexico
Homes are argued on comparable sales and uniformity. Income property is argued on the income approach — rent roll, expenses, and a supported cap rate. The packet builds the argument that matches your property type, with your evidence organised as exhibits.
